<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That was my first thought also Jon - pinblock
separating from frame. That certainly would do it. I've seen it many
times.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I didn't think of the split action rail, as I've
only run into that once so far. But indeed, that could do it also.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And then the side coming unglued is another

the strings either with the keys or damper pedal. Also many hammers are
blocking in this area</I></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Classic symptom of the back separating from the block. The
block and plate are being</DIV>
<DIV>pulled forwards by the string tension. This moves the string plane closer
to the action</DIV>
<DIV>resulting in blocking hammers and late or non-lifting dampers.</DIV>

<DIV>Second choice, the side of the case is loose.</DIV></X-SIGSEP>
