Hi-

I got time today to share a problem that I don't remember encountering
before, and it had me scratching my head for a bit to figure out.  Last
Friday I was doing final regulation pass on a S&S B action job with new
shanks and hammers, backcheck leather, key bushing, and key frame felt.
Centers were all repinned as necessary also. While going last time through
let off I noticed one note in the middle was inconsistent. Press the key
slowly once and let off was just right.  Press a second time and let off was
way off.  Play the note, check again, and let off is good.  Check slowly now
and it's way off.  Immediately I looked at the let off button felt, which
seemed slightly loose so I reglued it securely and tried again.  No change.
By quick visual inspection everything looked fine with the parts.  Know what
it was?


Dennis.
