"key bounce"

[Mike McCoy]

I just had the same issue with a 1930's Baldwin grand. The keys bounce 
after you let go and you can feel it in your fingers when playing. 
Nothing worked, including backrail cloth and it did have a ton of lead 
in the keys. Someone in my Chapter  suggested the wip cushions may be 
too hard, and they were. I turned the stack over and steamed them and it 
removed the dimples and softened them up. It did help noticeably but the 
problem is still there.
