Walter,

Glad that lowering the register key slightly did you some good. Also, thank you
for clarifying something I said:

I wasn't clear about the electrical tape. Such an experiment with tape is,
indeed, only a temporary fix. If using it helps, I would recommend to others
that they then either bend the key down or put a new, thicker cork under the
key and sand it to that exact height. I'm glad you "interpreted" my loosely
written comments the right way.
