  To the list

  Today I went to solve a problem on a RACHALS grand.
  The piano was very well restored in England and now is on Rio de =
Janeiro.
  All on it was very nice and the only wrong thing was the hammer shanks =
that  was resting on the hammer rest rail. I lowered the rail.
  There are on it a problem that I could not to solve. If you play =
normaly it is a very good piano and a very nice one but in some notes if =
you need to use a heavy blow, the hammer don't go to the strings. The =
hammer stays blocked on the backcheck. I separate the back check from =
the tail of the hammer and this don't solved the problem.=20
  I made a accurate inspection in 3 or 4 notes with this problem, and I =
could not to discover what is wrong.
  I need help.
  Thanks
