I was not expecting to find 2/3's (bass and treble) of the keys
jammed up off of the key pins and skewed to the left. Went ahead
and completely pulled the action and placed it on the kitchen island
(with customer's permission) for a closer look. Of course, I took
digital pictures before removing the action. Next, I removed the
stack and all the affected keys. Could not find any evidence of damage to
action, keys, case or otherwise, so I returned the keys to their proper
position and fortunately everything just fell into place and functioned
perfectly. Even the hammerline was straight as could be (with
shanks just off the rest felts) with no adjustments required. Put
the action back in and proceeded with tuning whi! ch went fine.<br>

I am curious to hear what some you think might have happened to cause
such a phenomenom as well as your opinions as to whether or not whatever
trauma caused this might lead to problems later on.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all who offered assistance!<br><br>
