A number of pins were bent to far FORWARD in the key mortise, causing them to bind at full dip. Although the dip and after touch were correct, when pushed slowly there was a slight unwanted "spring" built into the keys when they reached bottom. When Played normally the keys would immediately spring slightly upward during a blow causing a mushy feel and causing the back checks to slip out. Everything seems to be okay during the typical diagnosis, "it just don't play right!!" Congratulations, your award will be arriving in the mail!! Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV
