Martin - What Joe says is probably likely where your problem is. I imagine if
Joe is taking 3 - 4 hours to do the job he's doing it right - drilling and inserting
proper round key leads. I've done several pianos using Jiffy Leads as well -
not the ideal approach from an aesthetic standpoint to be sure, but one that
will give results.<br>
<br>
Another problem that can cause poor return of the jacks is weak or broken jack
springs. Lift up the hammer butt slightly, and push the toe of the jack down
with a small screwdriver. Release it and see if the jack snaps into place. If
you've tried putting Protek on the action centers, and the jack still seems
sluggish, I would be suspicious of the strength of the springs.<br>
<br>
Just a thought. Chuck Behm<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
