Joe - As long as everyone is guessing, I'll take a shot at it myself . If 2 individual notes are rattling, I would guess that either the hammer butt screw on the notes are loose, which can be ascertained if you try tightening them, and they turn, or the hammerheads themselves are coming loose from the hammer shanks. Try holding the hammer shank and rocking the hammer gently up and down (not enough to break the shank). If you sense looseness, work it up and down until it comes off completely, then reglue. If that is the problem, the rattling will cease immediately. Chuck -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
