[pianotech] Regulation Question

[Joseph Alkana]

I don't understand how you can lift your hand and play the note at the same
time. 

 

So you've checked that the jack is not "cheating", or slipping out under the
knuckle as you strike the key?

 

The back check is not catching the hammer tail, tapping the hammer on its
way to the string?

 

Do you hear any extraneous noise cycling the action slowly?

 

Is the problem eliminated with action out of the piano?

I was working on a Baldwin SF10 today.  On several of the keys, I could play
the note if I put my finger on the key first, then lifted my hand as I
played the note.  I could play forte or louder this way.  But if I struck
the key with my finger, the hammer would not go up.

 

Any ideas?

 

If yes, what could be the issue?
