Seems likely.">> I was just about to get to the 'thump everything in sight' stage when I noticed the warping in the rail. I was looking down through the strings to see if there was anything visible that might be causing the clicking, since it was just on those three keys, when I noticed this strange little warping right in the area of the clicking. I tried to get the clicking by striking the underlever with my finger...no noise....I tried tapping the rail against the belly rail..no noise...I slid the action back in and could see the rail slap the belly rail when one of those three keys was struck with a hard blow with attendant clicks........ I am just 'lucky' to have found it so quickly cause this could have turned into a real headscratcher! :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
