Mark, David, Ron & Ric, Thanks for your replies to my questions. I just spoke to my customer and she has agreed to try replacing the strings on the note. If I can get the agraffe out without any fuss I will try polishing the holes as shown by Paul in the March 05 Journal. Trying to use the reamer during in home service could get a bit dicey. It needs to be perfectly still, preferably at a drill press to ream correctly. Paul's point about the reamers leaving striations is a good one. The buffing method is more work but perhaps better for in home service. We'll give it a try and hopefully this will work for now. She has not complained of other notes having this buzz but I would bet that will come up at another time. Thanks again, Don Don McKechnie Piano Technician Ithaca College dmckech at ithaca.edu 607-274-3908 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
