OK, I`ve just recently purchased a brand spanking new Loree Royal, and everything has been going great, it`s been breaking in beautiful. Only problem is, and I know I could just be patient and wait till my next lesson but my `D` key is sticking obnoxiously. I might just be overexaggerating just a little, but seriously, I`ve taken cigarette and have tried to get out anything that may be causing the sticky noise coming from it but I have no idea what to do or what it is. Is it something that is too complicated for me to handle, something to do with the pad or does it need to be adjusted or something? I need tips guys, thanks.

Hi!
If d key doesn`t come up it might be problem with a spring or with ajustment of small "hand" that toches d on the bottom of the key.
But for me it sounds more like a spring problem.It also might be ajustment of resonance key (on the side) but in this case you would be having problem paying your E and C

HI,

thanks for replying, but it doesn`t at all affect my `f` resonance key and the spring appears to be fine and working correctly, it`s just that there`s a noise. Low `c` and `e` work perfectly fine, and what`s even more odd is that in the second octave it doesn`t make noise then. Right now it`s really humid in Chicago and it has been for a while, could that be a factor??
