Puzzler

[Farrell]

PuzzlerThat was my first thought also Jon - pinblock separating from frame. That certainly would do it. I've seen it many times.

I didn't think of the split action rail, as I've only run into that once so far. But indeed, that could do it also.

And then the side coming unglued is another possibility.

Let us know which of the three it is. Otherwise we'll forever all be puzzled!

  The first bass octave dampers won't lift away from the strings either with the keys or damper pedal.  Also many hammers are blocking in this area

  Classic symptom of the back  separating from the block.  The block and plate are being
  pulled forwards by the string tension. This moves the string plane closer to the action
  resulting in blocking hammers and late or non-lifting dampers.


  Second choice, the side of the case is loose.
