Super story.  Nice to hear what techs find.

Subject: [pianotech] Hit the road, Jack...

I wanted to mention that I found something unique on the piano involving the  
dog attack...

They had a note, G2, that hadn't played in years.  The piano has been in the  
family for 20+ years and they said no tech ever fixed it.

While looking closely, I realized that I couldn't see the front of the jack  
under the button. I thought maybe it had broken off but I couldn't be sure.

I removed  the wippen and lo and behold, the jack had been installed  
backwards!  The spring was installed on the front and the jack was facing  
the back.  Not very conducive to the proper operation of the note.  I turned  
the jack around and repinned it and the note works just fine.  I wish I had  
a picture but I don't.  Stress from the dog and all...  :-)

Regards,
