A week after I had tuned a Kimball console, the customer told me one of the keys was sticking. When I arrived, she played the key a few times, and then it stuck down, about half way. The key itself felt free, but the hammer would not strike the string. When I opened up the piano, the key was not sticking, nor could I get it to stick again. But upon careful observation of the action, I figured out why it was probably sticking. I made an adjustment using only my fingers, then closed up the piano, mostly satisfied the problem would not reoccur. However as I drove away, I thought of something else I could have done INSTEAD that probably would have been better, again using only my fingers. Can you tell me: 1. What was the problem? 2. What was my original solution? 3. What other solution did I think would have been better?
