[CAUT] Una chorda shift "click"

[Jeff Tanner]

There is a hardwood block glued to the action frame where the shift lever contacts the frame. Check that glue joint.

  Hi all, 

  Our Steinway D in one of our halls has a weird clicking or groaning noise with the unacorda shift movement.  It makes a "click" or something like it when pushing the pedal down.  It is minimal when pushing quickly, but is very noticable on a slow push.  It's also even more noticable on pushing and releasing the pedal. 

  I sanded and lubed the right side of the key-frame, and also polished the return spring, but it only went away slightly. It sounds like that is where the sound is occurring.  The lyre action is not where it's happening, so where might I look next? 

  Thanks 
  Paul
