[pianotech] sticking key

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings,
 
           I would first check the usual; hammer caught on neighbor, tight 
key bushing, obstruction between keys (such as pennies, paper clip) If it 
isnt any of that, move on to pulling the action out and looking behind there. 
Perhaps a sostenuto tab is loose or broken. Also candle wax is notorious for 
running into places. Something will turn up.

Hi Everyone,
I have a customer I'm visiting tomorrow for a tuning that as a sticking 
key. The piano I believe is  Yamaha grand.  She told me the key sticks when she 
depresses the sustenuto pedal, which is the righ tpedal if I'm correct.  I 
thought I'd write here to see what I can quickly look for when I get there 
as my time will be limitted.  Thanks
Marshall
