Just a little to much key dip. The jack is slapping the let off rail a =
bit hard. Maybe the glue on the felt there was over done. Did the =
clacking start when you took out the lost motion? Sure sign you have to =
much dip.=20

    You likely already looked, but are the butt felt squares (where the =
jack rests upon return under butt) missing or hard?


  I looked to see if they were missing, which they weren't.  It doesn't =
sound like a glue sound.  I will check for glue spillage, though.  The =
shank to butt assembly gluing was pretty sloppy.  They could have glued =
a whole other set of shanks with the leftovers I see in there.  =20

  I should have mentioned that the noise really only occurs on a firmer =
blow to the key.=20

  Thanks,=20
