---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Paul, Let me amend my previoius guess to "backcheck dragging on sticker wire." The fix? Regulate lost motion?

I thought of a spoon with a spot of glue on it eating a hole through the damper lever felt, but that would probably clack before the hammer hit the string.

The customer complained about a click/squeak noise on some notes, which she clearly noted on a card. I was unable to hear what she was hearing, but said that if we tuned the piano first, the noise might become more easily heard. So, I did a double pass tuning, which sounded all right to me, and asked if she still heard the noise. She played the notes which she objected to, and said the sound was still there. We played around with the notes, until I finally heard something. It was a noise, like a faint squeak, that appeared upon release of the key. I was thinking the jack cushion felt on the butt was the culprit, but that wasn't it. I removed the wooden sticker from the action and after a few minutes of fussing around with the wippen, found the source of the noise. See if you can guess what the cause (and remedy) was.&nb! sp; Hint: the jack had nothing to do with the noise.
