I see this problem regularly with upright pianos, especially ones that haven’t been maintained. But this problem can also occur on instruments that have undergone a temperature and humidity shift. It’s also commonly found on old pianos with compressed or worn parts. It’s called lost motion.
The name is appropriate because it refers to the simple fact that the piano keys are not “connected” to the hammer assembly. There’s a gap in between.

SEARCH NEW PIANOS BY PRICE (MSRP)
The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) are prices established by each company, presented in $USD. The MSRP is the “List Price” of a piano. This is not the sale price of the piano but rather, the highest price the piano will be listed at. Often, stores may discount pianos heavily and so it is a good idea to shop locally to find what price a piano may be purchased for. By clicking on any of the price points below, you’ll be able to see all of the piano models available in that particular price range.
