Chuck - I usually notice a "click" rather than a "rattle" as the symptoms of these problems - maybe we're just using "noise terminology" differently! :) Scott ------ Scott A. Helms, Registered Piano Technician 480-818-3871 www.helmsmusic.net > 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 >
