The right pedal is the sustain pedal. The middle pedal is the sostenuto pedal. The left is the action shift pedal, also known as the una corda. But I think "una corda" is a musical term--not a piano part term.<div>
<br></div><div>Hard to know what you'll find, Marshall. If it's the action shift, a lot of times it's because the action shifts too far over to the treble side. When this happens, the last bass damper will stick up (because it contacts the plate). It's also possible that the sostenuto blade is too close to one of the tabs. Don't panic, and work methodically the best you can.</div>

<font size="3" face="Arial">Hi Everyone,</font><br>
<font size="3" face="Arial">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</font><br>
