Tuned it a couple of weeks ago, adjusted lost motion and plugged in the DC. A couple of days ago the customer complained about keys sticking, especially in the middle. I Inspected the piano this morning, and determined what was causing them to stick were the spoons are hanging up on the damper lever felts. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The question the customer posed, and I want to know, is this. Since the keys were not sticking before I plugged in the DC, is there a correlation with the heat of the DC and the spoons sticking on the damper lever felts?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV style="CLEAR: both"></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BODY></HTML>
