Can also be caused by split keybed, broken by turning the piano on the pedal lyre.

    Jim, 


    This has been the other usual suspect (besides a cheating jack) when I have encountered this symptom previously, but no, that's not it either.

    Backcheck? (Checking too close so it grabs on hard blow)

    Dan, 

    This was Terry Farrell's initial guess over on pianotech, and one of the two most common causes of this problem, in my experience.  But, in this case, that's not it.

    Alan, 

    You may find that the jack is cheating and if so turn it back in small increments until it plays on the hardest blow.

    List, 

    The problem: There were a couple of notes that, when played really hard, would not speak at all (no repeated playing of the note involved).  Other than that, these notes work just fine.  This was something I had never seen before, so it took a few seconds longer than usual to figure out what was going wrong.  Any ideas about what it was?

    Have a great weekend,
