>      I tuned a Wurlitzer Spinet yesterday.  D4 makes an annoying click
that 
>      sounds like two pieces of wood being hit together every time it is 
>      played.  In fact, if you press the key all the way down, let it up 
>      just slightly (not enough for the Jack to return under the hammer 
>      butt) and press it down again it will click again.  I spent around
20 
>      minutes looking at the note from every angle and just could not see 
>      what was causing it.  The hammer, damper flanges and pins were all 
>      tight.  The jack is firmly against the let off and all felt is in 
>      place.  The sound comes from the top and not the bottom of the
action.
