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/mixed attachment A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
