The objectives were to a). = fix a sticky key and b) tune the piano. The sticky key was caused by a = toy model of those wings that commercial pilots wear on their blazers = getting wedged between C 5 and the action bracket. No problem. Remove = offending wings, put action back in, tune, check pedals. The una corda = doesn't work. Take action out several times trying to figure out why it = isn't working. =20 Looks to me like the shift lever has chafed part of the wood on the = edge of the keybed slot. The lever slips right under the action. =20 Went out again, tried to shift action a little bit so the lever would = grab. I carefully tried to rebed the frame, but it did not help, so I = put the bed back into its original setting. 45 minutes later, a = frustrated tech left the house, problem unsolved.=20 It seems to me that the end of the lever that pushes on the action is = not quite long enough to do its job. It's a brand new piano, and it was = working fine before I removed the action, according to the owner. Any = ideas?
