cheating jack.  put in a bit farther or check rep height. Something else 
we don't know? Or poor rep spring strength?  On an upright, no lost 
motion, or no spring strength?  Otherwise a nasty flange pinning....or 
something stuck in the action like a paper clip, etc? (I get a lot of 
those in the school)

List, 

The problem: There were a couple of notes that, when played really hard, 
would not speak at all (no repeated playing of the note involved).  Other 
than that, these notes work just fine.  This was something I had never 
seen before, so it took a few seconds longer than usual to figure out what 
was going wrong.  Any ideas about what it was?

Have a great weekend,

Alan Eder
