While playing it, I found that about 3 keys in a row are sticking, as in they go down but fail to come back up. Also one is sluggish in its return. Is this something I should be somewhat concerned about or is it just part of the settling in/adjusting to new environment stage? Thanks for the help. Josh Josh

Changes in humidity, combined with sometimes innaccurate pinning or easing of keys at manufacture are the cause. These are easily fixed by a good tech. Call the store and have them send someone out. The key could be too tight at the front rail pin, or the hammer flange could be too tight.
