Hi everyone,

Just to be clear, I’m not a piano technician at all. I only had one stuck note on my upright piano and thought I might be able to fix it myself, so I removed the whole action.

The piano already had a few broken bridle tapes before I touched it. After putting the action back in, the notes with the broken bridles don’t go down anymore at all.. the keys feel completely stuck.

Did I probably reinstall something wrong, or can broken bridle tapes cause this after removing/reinstalling the action? I read that maybe the jack can get stuck under the hammer butt, but I honestly don’t know enough to tell.

Does anyone know how to fix this or what I should check first?

Thanks a lot.
