[CAUT] Fall board

[David Love]

Are you sure it's the hinge and not the hinged front buzzing against the
back part of the fall board?  That's where I usually find the problem and it
seems to come from the light contact between the two pieces.  Stick a piece
of felt on the back side of the flap so that it doesn't rest against the
other part and will be invisible.  See if that doesn't help.

I have a "D" here with a fall board hinged front that I can't get to stop
buzzing.  I took it off and bent the hinge pins to make them very tight and
it still buzzed.  I finally broke down and ordered new hinges from Steinway
and it still buzzes.  If you move it out of its hanging-straight-down
position it stops but there's no guarantee that it will stay there.  I've
contemplated taking the thing off, but that will leave 12 ugly holes where
the hinge screws had been.  I've even contemplated gluing it on straight out
like the smaller pianos.  

 

Any suggestions???
