    I had a chinese piano come in, a little upright with a few problems:

        bass strings buzzing, removed loose keypins from bridge: still
    buzzing
        rerouted bass string through its own bridge pins: fixed

        occasional key sticking hard to reproduce: figured out how to
    reproduce predictably
        try rapid cycling of key without fully lifting up, allows check to
    loosen and hammer to fall back without jack going under then
    jack     catches on buckskin just back of felt cushion and the only
    effective release is the lost motion inducer (soft) pedal
    Solutions?
