loose letoff rail. Marcel From: doudna440 at gmail.com Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 15:22:13 -0600 To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] (no subject) Most of these I've ruled out. The sound is similar to a key, struck hard, that had a thin card punching on the f.r., however, the sound itself, is in the action.

Check the bridal strap wires, are they clicking against their neighbor.
