<div dir="ltr"><div>HELP!!!!!</div> <div> </div> <div>I have only begun caring for the pianos at this school/venue in the last month.</div> <div>This piano was last serviced in May by the previous tech who left the area.</div> <div> </div> <div>It was rebuilt in '03 and appears to have no major problems, the bass strings are steel wound, not certain why.</div> <div>The lowest 6 notes have a rattle that I could not eliminate. I tightened every screw I could find, hinges, cabinet, lyre, plate bolts. I checked the bridge pins to see that they were fully seated in the bridge.</div> <div>The only way I could eliminate it was to lay under it and press up on 2 ribs above the beam (that extends to the nose) about 2/3 of the way toward the bass bridge, approximately under the tenor bridge.</div> <div>I also cleaned under the plate and bridges looking for forign objects.</div> <div> </div> <div>Now what? The concert is tomorrow night.</div> <div> </div> <div>I would appreciate any advice,</div> <div>Mike<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile. <br>Walter Chrysler <br> <br><br><br>Michael Magness<br>Magness Piano Service<br>608-786-4404<br><a href="http://www.IFixPianos.com">www.IFixPianos.com</a><br>email <a href="mailto:mike@ifixpianos.com">mike@ifixpianos.com</a><br></div></div>
