Hi Ron,

Interesting point about who "installed" the offending item. Of course I
have no idea who did do it--but when I removed the offending material there
was a good improvement in sound--and no buzz. I have no reason to think it
was a tuner--as this was one of Yamaha's touring grands--I hope they would
not be treated that way.
