JIm,

Often the friction is between the plate felt/cloth and the piano
wire.  Usually on older instruments.  You feel the pin move but
the pitch doesn't budge until bang and then back the other way,
bang. etc.  Protech really helps!  It evaporates and leaves its
little SECRET ingredients on the felt.
