Last riddle clues (:)}}}

     I serviced a Steinway grand that had let-off problems.  I searched and
     searched until I found it.  The jacks were assembled in two pieces -
     the tender "arm" was glued to the jack (or fly). The glue was failing
     on several of those jack assemblies, thus allowing the tender "arm" to
     move a little bit every time the tender contacted the regulating
     button.  It was really weird at first, because I would adjust the
     let-off, play the key a few times, and the let-off would change.  Once
     I reglued the tenders to the jacks everything was fine and adjustable
     once again.  I don't even know if the subject Yamaha of this riddle
     even has these kind of jack assemblies, but I thought I'd throw this
     out there.

     Enjoying the riddle,

     John Piesik
