<<"My guess is that the damper upstop rail screw was loose. The other theory is that the upstop rail was missing some felt. But on a fairly new piano, I would have to go with the loose screw. Willem">> Nope, the damper upstop rail screws were all good and tight and all the felt was intact. :-) jb <<"Without being there this is just a guess, but the occasional nature of the click hints at the damper action ,damper lever to key interaction , upstop rail? Now I`m really guessing. Tom Driscoll">> Well Tom sometimes "being there" don't help all that much either. :-) Your thinking followed mine, care to pinpoint a little closer? jb <<"Bare spot where fallboard felt should be (for whatever reason)? Or contaminated/hardened area of fallboard felt? Paul S. Larudee, RPT">> No Paul, not in this instance. jb HINT: There was a playing level where the "click" was only apparent in the middle key but as the playing level got progressivly harder the "click" appeared in the two adjacent keys.
