Is this in a grand? Are the jacks two-piece? Are the regulating rail ("let-off rail") screws tight? Is the repetition lever post loose on the wippen? --David Nereson, RPT <div class="gmail_quote"> On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 6:37 PM, Ron Nossaman <<a href="mailto:rnossaman@cox.net" target="_blank">rnossaman@cox.net</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 11/20/2012 5:59 PM, Jim Ialeggio wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Was going to try to repin a bit tighter...but I my pinning tool was in the shop...oops </blockquote> I don't believe pinning, unless it's obviously really sloppy and it's the birds eye. I've never seen a cracked shank or flange make noise, but I suppose it might be possible. <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Looked at the shank and hammer glue joint. No obvious issues. </blockquote> This joint can look fine and still click. Usually, you can wiggle it and feel if it's loose. Pull it and reglue, or (shudder) put a drop or two of CA on the shank end. Neither takes long and you can definitely eliminate that one. The knuckle joint is the next possibility. Same rules as the hammer. I think you're smart enough to notice something obvious like a petrified knuckle (and there would be more than one anyway), or errant glue. That's all I think of off hand, other than evil spirits. Ron N </blockquote></div>
