[pianotech] stuck keys after one hour of playing

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Barb,

 

Hammer flange center pins. I've been there and once it starts, you can be assured that others will follow. Repin is the best solution. Protek doesn't seem to do much. I used McLube 444 and it worked OK. I'll tell you next year if it will have lasted.

Howdy,

 

I just got a call from a fellow who has an almost 10 year old Wurlitzer grand (I think it was made by Young Chang--correct me if I'm wrong.).  He said he's been having some trouble with keys starting to stick <after> he's been playing for a while--like an hour--and then they just won't go.  We've made an appointment for me to come out and have a look.  I will check the action centers & keys for friction levels, of course, but this seems sort of unusual--well, I've never been witness to such behaviour, anyway.  Has anyone else experienced such symptoms?

 

Thanks,
