Willem;
     Last week I was working on  Steinway, 40 or 50 years old. Most of the 
dampers that were previously working correctly would stay upright when key 
was depressed and released. Removed action, and found the 'monkey spring was 
off the monkey' and the sostenuto bar was engaged to the dampers. I had just 
replaced the monkey spring a few minutes before because it came off when I 
removed the action.  Question: What would cause the monkey spring to slide 
off the monkey. All looked O.K. and working correctly. I've never had this 
problem before. I did re-attatch the spring and all was well. But I still 
wonder......will it slide off again!!!
Thanks,
