Thanks to whoever takes the time to answer this. I've had my piano for about a year, it isn't new but it was ocnmpletely refurbished and worked perfectly when I first got it. Lately, I have noticed several keys keep sticking, so when I play them they stay down and don't come back up unless I pull them back up.
Can anyone explain to me why my piano is doing this and also how much might it cost to fix it. How involved will it be to get my piano fixed? Is this a serious problem or relatively minor?
My piano is an upright and it is made by schubert if that helps.

Powdered graphite is a good lubricant to use on the pins under the keys.Have the piano tuned and ask the tuner to free up the action.It doesn't add much to the cost of a tuning,and it always nice to have your piano in tune with an easy action.It is worthwhile to have your piano tuned at least once a year.Concert grands are tuned before every performance.

If you look inside your piano you will find a wooden piece that runs from under the key , over a metal post, to a complicated mechanism at the back end... including a spring... There are a lot of things that might be wrong with the keys. Unfortunately only a piano tech can really figure out what's wrong and how to fix it ...... In the meantime it is quite interesting to look inside the piano and see what actually happens when you depress the keys.... and use the pedals...

Hello there! I have a piano also, and we just got it cleaned and tuned. One of the keys was sticking, and when the guy cleaned it out, we found that there was a letter under it! Since you said it wasnt new, im thinking that means it was someone elses, so maybe something got stuck under there from when they owned it. I think it costs around 75 to 100 dollars, not much if you consider it doesnt need cleaned too often. It will also sound much better once it is tuned, because its crazy how much better it sounds when you didnt know it was off key! Hope this helps!

I had this same problem with a piano that i used to have and I went to my local music store and told them. They gave me some kind of heater thingy that goes in it and it solved the problem. Sorry I don't know what this is called, but maybe it is a starting point for you.
