Did the noise happen when the right pedal was down? <br>
<br>
I thought of a spoon with a spot of glue on it eating a hole through the
damper lever felt, but that would probably clack before the hammer hit
the string. <br>

I had an interesting encounter with an Acrosonic the
other day. The customer complained about a click/squeak noise on
some notes, which she clearly noted on a card. I was unable
to hear what she was hearing, but said that if we tuned the piano first,
the noise might become more easily heard. So, I did a double pass
tuning, which sounded all right to me, and asked if she still heard the
noise. She played the notes which she objected to, and said the
sound was still there. We played around with the notes, until I
finally heard something. It was a noise, like a faint squeak, that
appeared upon release of the key. I was thinking the jack cushion
felt on the butt was the culprit, but that wasn't it. I removed the
wooden sticker from the action and after a few minutes of fussing around
with the wippen, found the source of the noise. See if you can
guess what the cause (and remedy) was.&nb!<br>
sp; Hint: the jack had nothing to do with the noise. <br>
