Well, first of all, this was an upright - and the keystop rail is in front of the key buttons. But that was not the problem........ Ohhhh, maybe this will be a good one!

Mostly on Baldwin Grands. The key stop rail, right above the keys, is screwed down too far, and the back of the key button hits it.

While giving many of the keys firm blows while tuning I noticed a reverberation in the keys (maybe 25%-50% of them - some more than others) - a bobbling-like feel at the end of the keystroke. You would not feel anything abnormal on a light to medium blow. But on a hard blow it felt like something was dancing on the back end of the key at the end of the key stroke. It took me a little while to figure it out. It was not the first (or second) thing I checked for. What was it?
