Richard,
        Is the underside of the hammer felt unglued from the moulding 
and you just didn't see it? Are you in a very hot and humid environment?

 Thanks for the fast replies. Let off on all problem notes is normal. 
The hammers are not blocking and are checking as normal, but the 
strings do not ring on the affected notes. It is almost as if the 
damper is not coming off the string, but it is and the note can be 
plucked and it rings. I'm at my wit's end. All the pianos with the bonk 
problem have been infested with termites, but I don't see how that 
could cause this problem. Thanks again for the input.
