Thanks for the help. > Jeannie >Jeannie Grassi, RPT >Bainbridge Island, WA >jgrassi@silverlink.net Some further input for you, Jeannie. Ask the customer to wait until it shows its face again. Have the customer leave it as is and call you immediately. Then respond ASAP and carefully remove your 14 screws and start to remove the action, listening and feeling for something to happen out of the ordinary. If it doesn't free up during this process of removing the action, you should be able to see what is causing the hang-up. Someone else mentioned depressing the pedal, then sliding your foot off and letting the the system bang back into place. This is something definitely worth trying with the action out and with the action in. Keith A. McGavern kam544@ionet.net Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
