Charles,
    You might check the hammer rest rail.  If it is allowing the hammers
to drop too far they can get 'snagged.'

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?
Toodles,
