You won't even know if it's the key until you look at it. Just because the customer says "a key is sticking" doesn't mean that it is the key.. It could be the front of the key sticking on the key slip too. Hammer doesn't strike the string? Probably not. Broken hammer? Flange pin out of place causing a wobbling hammer? Something interfering with the key, under the key, pencil inside of the action..... And the list goes on.

I sure appreciate your helpful insight. In fact I save these e-mails for reference. I also wanted to know what you guys do to ease a key on a grand without having to take the stack off, if there is a possible way of doing that. I have a customer who tells me that a "D"is sticking. Also I'm going to visit a grand on Wednesday where a hammer doesn't strike the string, string spacing? hammer spacing l ine of travel of hammer? I won't know until I get there, but am I on the right track with this one? thanks Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 www.phillytuner.com <http://www.phillytuner.com/> Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org <http://www.pianotuningschool.org/> Vancouver, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
