The piano will play fine for a month or 2 or 3 and then the problem happens again on another note or notes. Then a month or 2 later another key has the same problem. This usually does the trick and the jack springs back in place just fine. Then I push the pin back in to normal position, keep on pushing it far enough out of the other side to do the same lube-and-ream on the other side. My routine is to remove the whippen, push the jack pin out far enough to ream (very gently) and lube (with Protek) the bushing in the whippen on one side of the whippen. Neither piano seems to have much of what makes a piano play and sound like a fine instrument. One is a new Story and Clark, and the other is a Wurlitzer.
