       I know ,I know were not supposed to tighten the bloomin centripital 
resonator device on Mason & Hamlins but ya know this one was loose and 
causing a real nasty buzz. 
         I'm just finishing up the belly on a Mason A and it was alittle 
disconcerting to hear this coming from about the c-5 area. It did make me a 
little nervous especially after all that work to hear such a racket. I put 
the piano up on its side hoping to dislodge some remnant of construction but 
NOOOO. 
   While tapping on the board with my fist I hit the spider and it was really 
loose and vibrating.The loosest was the one going straight back to the end of 
the tail. I ended up tighting three of the rearward struts till I could just 
hear the case slighty creak / groan, you know snug. 
     Maybe it was my imagination but the sustain which was already good got 
better where it counts. I guess it does makes sense considering the case 
impedance was no doubt  enhanced.

       I'll be checking them in the future
