Here's a puzzler for you

[Wallace Scherer]

A week after I had tuned a Kimball console, the customer told me one of 
the keys was sticking. When I arrived, she played the key a few times, 
and then it stuck down, about half way. The key itself felt free, but the 
hammer would not strike the string.

When I opened up the piano, the key was not sticking, nor could I get it 
to stick again. But upon careful observation of the action, I figured out 
why it was probably sticking.

I made an adjustment using only my fingers, then closed up the piano, 
mostly satisfied the problem would not reoccur.

However as I drove away, I thought of something else I could have done 
INSTEAD that probably would have been better, again using only my fingers.

Can you tell me:

1. What was the problem?

2. What was my original solution?

3. What other solution did I think would have been better?
