Phil,
 
The customer opened and pushed back the keycover further than you'd pla=
ced it during your tuning.  The middle hinge on the back of the keycove=
r pushed against middle C's backcheck.
You asked the customer on your cell phone to pull the keycover forward =
slightly which solved the problem.

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 di=
d 
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.
