Being a piano tuner and rebuilder for the last 20 years, I have come across this problem many times in the past. The answer is really quite simple and a good technician would be able to pick it out in a heartbeat. When you play, as an amatuer (I assume) you attack the keys with less force and vigor than the technician. Also, you may use the damper pedal differently as well. These playing technique changes are why it doesn't happen when he plays. You need to demonstrate the sticking keys for him/her yourself. Then, they can see what is happening and correct it. Just as a guess on my part, the problem is probably one of these: Your key bushings are sticking, some of the bridle tapes inside (uprights only) have broken, (again uprights) the hammer return spring for a given note has slipped out of place or broken. Each of these problems represent a quick and virtually free repair as the correction of one of these things on just one or two notes take seconds to minutes. Even if the entire action is involved, they still won't need more than a day to make it all nice for you.
