<div class="Section1">
<p class="MsoNormal" align="left">I have a “D” here with a fall board hinged front that I can’t get to stop buzzing. I took it off and bent the hinge pins to make them very tight and it still buzzed. I finally broke down and ordered new hinges from Steinway and it still buzzes. If you move it out of its hanging-straight-down position it stops but there’s no guarantee that it will stay there. I’ve contemplated taking the thing off, but that will leave 12 ugly holes where the hinge screws had been. I’ve even contemplated gluing it on straight out like the smaller pianos. </p>
