[pianotech] Clickety clack

[Paul McCloud]

Could be that the strike point was readjusted, and moving the action back a little was enough to cause the sharps to hit the fallboard.

Awhile back someone mentioned a click they could not find.
Today I found a new one for me. Only the sharps.
It was caused by?

I've seen (heard) only the sharps click when the key upstop is warped, or out of its normal place for some other reason. The back edge of the sharps hit the wood of the upstop upon key return. It's not in the keystick, but the sharp itself that causes the noise.


As others have mentioned, it could also click on the fallboard of a grand ... for various reasons.
