Has the bridge shifted. Hold the instrument flat and look across the Soundboard from the side. Is the bridge side lower than the keybox side? Is the distance from the key box side to the string the same at the nut and at the wheel end? How hard do you press on the keys? Is the wheel tipping down at the keybox side more than it used to?
