Accoustic Foamn and Dampp-Chasers

[Farrell]

FWIW, a while back I wedged a rubber thingee off a microphone between a rib and the framing on a Yamaha that was buzzing. It was a rental in a church and the recital was to commence in an hour or so. I told the lady to tell the guy she rented the piano from what I had done. It did cure the buzz.
