Re: Loose key?

That spring can sometimes be a pain to engage if it's become unhitched from the spring cradle if the cradle is particularly long and the free end of the spring is now somewhere between the long rods of the E/B and F#/C# keys as space is very tight in that area of the keywork.

You will need a spring hook for this or in an emergency, a small crochet hook will work to pull it back so it clicks back into place. Do that without pulling it way beyond the spring cradle as you'll lose the tension.
