puzzler

[Keith Roberts]

Of course, You must have noticed where the grinding noise was coming from.
You need to tell us. I guess someone spilled a potted plant and some of the
balance rail hole are sandy.

> Subject piano:  50-year old Bremen (by Gulbransen) console.  At the annual
tuning 2 weeks ago, a couple of keys were down.  Compact action, not drop
(no elbows).  Lifted the keys, they stayed up, the notes played, but the
keys stayed down after playing.  These notes, as well as many others whose
keys did return, had a high-friction sluggish feel, and made a gritty
rubbing noise when played.  I repaired the 2 notes and gave a quote for the
remaining notes, which was declined.  Today she called and said there are
many more keys down (the 2 I repaired are OK).  What was wrong, and why did
it happen?
