---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Greetings, In addition to the other fine suggestions... Is the piano in a moist basement? ..or has it been recently moved from a moist place into a home? If recently moved from a moist place(baseement or garage) into a home, then in a coulple weeks the moistrue will dry out of the bushings a it sits in the heated house and everything will return to normal by drying allittle. If not, then the bushings of either the jack or the hammer are swollen and need a shot of 5% to 10% alchohol to H2O(water). There are disputes on the percentage of water to alchohol and the TYPE of alchohol. I do about 10% alc to H20 and the alchohol is isopropyl, because I cant get Ethyl anymore. Works for my customers, fine.
