the hinged front buzzing against the back part of the fall board? That’s
where I usually find the problem and it seems to come from the light contact
between the two pieces. Stick a piece of felt on the back side of the
flap so that it doesn’t rest against the other part and will be
invisible. See if that doesn’t help. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt'>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. </span></font></p>
