Question
There are a few keys that stick....the Hammer will not go all the way to hit the strings. I can't see the full mechanism just lifting off the top. Any resources for how to safely expose the linkage so I can see what is wrong, or other tips to repair?

Answer
Hi,

Thank you for using allexperts. I would recommend you have a local piano technician come and take care of your question.  You can find a local piano technician at the following website:  http://ptg.org/findATechnician-easySearch.php  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.



Sincerely,
