Key slip rubbing on the key front?

Doing this for 32 years but does that make me grizzled?

This is more for the benefit of the newcomers to the field..but you 
seasoned grizzled vets may chime in I suppose..

The piano was 85 miles away..one way..don't ask, but it tuned 
fine..client was happy when I was done, and away I go.

I'm not more than 5 miles away and I get a call saying that middle C is 
sticking and it wasn't sticking before..yea, and it didn't stick on me 
when I was tuning either..weird.

It's a console piano, and its manufacturer is insignificant..so..why did

Middle C stick after I was done tuning it?

Here is your only clue: the cause of the problem was in no way directly 
related to any action parts..and it's not as obvious as you think, you 
grizzled vets! I happen to catch it instantly..I got lucky.
