The B3 key is sticking....not returning to the full upright position after striking. I have had it serviced twice but the problem keeps coming back. I saw other posts where someone also mentioned that only the “B” keys were sticking. Is there something different about the “B” keys?

I am now thinking about just replacing the key...where do I purchase a replacement key?

Chances are, it’s bunged up with hair/lint/fluff or something.  There is a lubricant on each key, which tends to collect cat hair or other foreign lint stuffs that can cause the sticking.  At least, that is my experience.

Take the cover off. Inspect the sticking key.  There are several decent videos on Youtube how to pull off the cover and remove a key for inspection. 

Just take your time.  It’s pretty straight forward. 

good luck
