Don't even know how much a >used stethoscope would cost, but I'll bet I don't want to buy a new one. Go down to your local automotive specialty store and pick up an engine stethoscope. It's similar to a medical one, but instead of a flat pad sensor it has a long (8"?) thin probe which is ideal for literally pin-pointing unwanted (or wanted) vibrations whether they're in a car or a piano. I think they sell for about $15. John John Musselwhite, RPT Calgary, Alberta Canada musselj@cadvision.com
