Puzzler

Ooooooh, you're good!

I was the one who replaced the hangers last year, i.e., bent nails and
epoxy.

Apparently I made them just a smidge too long, so the rod is a smidge
too low and scrapes a few of the spoons (a smidge).

I didn't notice the squeak last year and the customer never complained,
I just noticed it while playing to test my tuning this morning.

I couldn't think of a fix that didn't involve major surgery, so I
confess I just put it back. They need new bass dampers anyway so next
time I'll fix it (no chaaahge) while working on the whole damper system.

my guess would be the lift rod is rubbing on the tops of some of the
spoons.
This would cause the wippen to move slightly, causing the jack to make
the
"hammers wink".
