Thanks, Jon,
I think you are right about the key issue.  I did a pretty complete
regulation and voicing about 9 months ago...obviously not complete enough!
I did not really give any attention to the balance hole, so will look at
that first.  It does not have wippen assist sprgs.  And I will check out the
key leading, too.
