<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS">The piano is a 1928 Chickering Model
M, Scale 141 (small concert size). The problem is this:</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS">As the key is depressed slowly—<i>pianissimo</i>—for
the first millimeter or so the key and hammer move smoothly. Then something
starts binding, it feels like something in the action is dragging, holding
the key and action back. After forcing the key down another three or four
millimeters action becomes free and everything operates normally. On a
medium to hard blow there is good power and the problem is hardly noticeable
but at <i>pianissimo</i> the action will hardly play.</font>
<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"> </font>
<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS">What is the problem and what caused
it?</font>
