I've had a Samick that had loose whipen post. It made that kind of a
click. Take out the whip and wiggle the post. If it's unglued, you'll
feel it right away.

I need some wisdom:

I am working on a Schafer & Sons G-3 Grand piano that has two keys that
have a 'clicking' sound.
The clicking sound is not there when you play pp but is there with mf
and up.

What I did so far:
Took the whippens out and visually inspected.  Did not see anything
obvious and no missing felts.
Regulate the action on those keys ( which were way off prior to
inspection ).
The jack is a little off to one side of the repetition lever window, but
not more than many other keys that dont have a click.
Lifted the damper up and held it while I played the key..... it still
clicks

One comment:
The click sounds like a wooden click ( I'm not saying it is, just sounds
like it ), but if I deaden the tricord strings with my finger, the loud
click does not sound.  The hammers do sound a little hard and make a
good ' thud ' when they hit the deadened strings.

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be making the click, and what I
could look for ???
Many thanks to you all in advance.
I really appreciate the opportunity to ask these type questions and get
feedback from those with far more experience than myself.
