I did a pre-concert-rehearsal tuning on an S&S D at a local venue today. There was a pronounced buzz for notes B3 B4 B5 when firmly played. I have already treated a cross-strut buzz on this piano successfully. Checking it did not change the buzz at all. I put my hand down through the second hole on the plate and pushed on the sound-board which stopped the buzz. ?!! This is a five-year-old D with a DC system on it which until I came three years ago wasn't plugged in much. It is on constantly now and rarely deviates by much in tuning or regulation. I'm guessing rib/rim separation. Does anyone have other ideas to pursue. I felt around for foreign objects contacting the board and didn't encounter any. I'll be going back for the pre-concert tuning Sunday morning armed with a bright light, syringe with needle, and CA glue. I'm open to other ideas. Andrew Anderson, Artisan Piano
