<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
