I know your are not suspecting corfam, but at this point, it would not =
be too much trouble to pull one hammer and change the butt buckskin. Put =
it back, does it still click? You might be surprised.

  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

    As we all know, sound from pianos are usually deceptive.=20
