Hopefully some of you can = offer some advice about this.I've only been tuning for about 2 =BD years = and I'm trying to learn to do small repairs as I come across them. This = is something I don't know how to fix, and I'd rather ask than cause = damage by trying something that might be bad for the piano. =20 A piano I tuned today is buzzing around the middle of the soundboard = in the bass section. It buzzes loudest when I play C#3 and buzzes a = little on a couple of other notes. I looked and can't find any cracks = in the soundboard, but it sounds like wood on wood. The buzz stops = completely when I apply pressure to the top of the soundboard and also = if I push up on the ribs in that area. The client just bought this = piano brand new about three weeks ago. The brand is River. It's under = warranty, and I'm wondering whether he should just send it back and get = another one. =20 I felt bad having to tell the client that his brand new piano is = buzzing, and I wish there was something I could do to fix it. Would = some sort of really thin shims work? How about just trying to get some = glue above the ribs in that area? Any advice you can give me would be = appreciated. =20 Take care, Brandon Robertson ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
