Joe, do the problem with the sticky keys arises always or sometimes? It is well known, especially when you play in heated rooms (central- or floor-heating) in winter or in regions with low air humidity. When the air humidity descent under 40% the -softer- wood of the keybox shrinks and block the keys. You could try to lay on some graphite (pencil) on the keys or to scrap away carefully some wood of the keys (fine sandpaper). However, it would be the best to make sure for sufficient air humidity (approx. 50%).
