I've read most of the books but this is a new one on me.  Several keys 
(probably 12 or so) in the midrange can't be depressed.  The inside of the 
hammer "tail" sticks against the back of the wippen.  So the hammer is 
incapable of rising unless you pull the hammer up with your hand. 

Being a relative newbie as a piano tech, I'm wondering what the fix is.  Take 
a file and file the back of the wippen?  Take a Dremel tool and sand off part 
of the hammer so it doesn't rub?  Reglue the offending hammers, making the 
shanks 1/64 longer?  

Just curious to know if any of you "Been there, done that, got the T-shirts" 
have seen this before?
