Look for large pieces of sawdust or trash resting in the V shaped space between strings and bridge cutaway. Examine that top row of bridge pins on that note and others around it. D.L.

The buzz in question shows up while playing F5, whichi is two notes down from the strut. I have done all the usual tests and corrections that I usuall rely on, such as looking for cracks in the sound board, pressing on ribs in search of loose glue joints, reseating the strings, smoothing down the V-bar, cleaning up the notching, and cursing under my breath. We also vacuumed out the cabinet inside and out. Any ideas? Thanks, Patrick C. Poulson Registered Piano Technician Piano Technicians Guild
