<div dir="ltr"># 1: It's more likely that the hammer butt felt (the little rectangular piece that the jack tip rests on) is either missing, or has a smidge of hardened glue on it. Replace if missing, or clean the glue off the contact surface.<div> #2: Probably the balance rail bushing (if it's the front rail these suggestions apply equally). Microfine teflon powder &/or Protec will quiet it right down. It's possible the problem was caused by glue soaking into the felt when the key was bushed (plus a certain amount of wear). </div> <div>Patrick Draine<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 24, 2008 at 10:19 PM, Matthew Todd <<a href="mailto:toddpianoworks@att.net">toddpianoworks@att.net</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <div>I was working on my piano this evening, and I noticed two problems, and I wanted to get some input before I proceed.</div> <div> </div> <div>1.  When I play one particular note, I hear a clicking sound.  It is from the action, not the key.  I believe it is the jack rubbing against the underside of the butt, and the buckskin in worn off.  When I pull the jack back with my screwdriver and release it, it does make the same kind of sound.  And when I press down on the key, wait a few seconds, then release it, I hear it too.</div> <div> </div> <div>2.  On a few notes I hear what sounds like a faint squeak.  I believe it may the front rail pin rubbing on worn bushing cloth underneath.</div> <div> </div><font color="#888888"> <div> </div> <div> Matthew</div></font></blockquote></div><br></div></div>
