Then it has to be the back checks that were rubbing on the hammer tails
on a hard blow.The only way to test for this is to put pressure on the
hammers while depressing the keys. You can feel the friction.

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,

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)

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