puzzler

List,

I went out on a 7 year old Mason and Hamlin "BB" that I tune every six weeks 
or so for a large church.  The complaint was that on "F" above middle "C," 
when struck with a forte blow and released slowly it would stick.  It did not 
stick with a soft blow played slowly.  What was the problem? 

I will give the answer in a day or so.
