Is ther a prize for being right.... like free convention registration?

Again close but no cigar for you either! :-)
Your prize for being 'not correct' is that you get to pay in inflated dollars 
to attend convention :-(

 Could be Mike, but it ain't. ;-)

Jim,

"How about the key strip...catching the key buttons or something..."

Very 'general' answer and the closest one so far.


I'll leave the question open till late this afternoon...for a hint refer back 
to what I said originally, i.e. "The problem seemed to disappear with the 
action out of the piano, and before the cheek blocks and fallboard were 
reinstalled."  To which I will add that when the fallboard was moved toward 
the closed position, the very tiniest bit, the sticking and clicking stopped.
 It sho nuf made me feel dull when I finally figured it out!!! :-)
