Ed: I too had the same problem when I purchased a new R-13 and also the
same thing on the sliver key for the left hand. I had my repairman increase
the tension on the springs for those two keys and the problem has almost
solved itself.
I only have that problem now when I am really tired after playing for a
long time and get a little careless in finger placement.
