Congratulations!<br>          Dale</b></font></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>However, a dealer tech was here over the weekend (I was out of town</div> <div>for 4 days) doing a little voicing at the request of a faculty member</div> <div>and he was able to find it.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Long story short, it turned out to be, what he called, one of the</div> <div>screws that are used on the cheek block guides. A small, black, 1"</div> <div>long screw. He said it might have even been there since from the</div> <div>factory. Somehow, somehow it had gotten back to and wedged under the</div> <div>edge of the low tenor bridge in the area where the longest treble</div> <div>strings are on the hitch pins.</div> <div><br></div> <div>He found it by pressing down on the board in that area (it got worse)</div> <div>then from underneath, pressing upward of the board and it got better.</div> <div>They took off the lid to see better and he finally saw it and managed</div> <div>to get it loose with a flexible rod of some kind and get it out with</div> <div>a magnet.</div> <div><br></div> <div>I was correct about the area the buzz was coming from and the fact</div> <div>that the sound HAD to be something on the board. I JUST COULDN'T FIND</div> <div>IT!!! :-)</div> <div><br></div> <div>Thanks to all those who offered suggestions. Your help was much</div> <div>appreciated. Now all I have to deal with on that instrument is the</div> <div>possible "damage" that might be done to it in that pianist's faculty</div> <div>recital tonight, all contemporary American music. The composers are:</div> <div>Kenneth Frazelle, Stephen Albert, Charles Griffes, John Corigliano</div> <div>and Aaron Kernis. One (the Kernis, I believe) involves a foot on the</div> <div>keyboard and a lot of arm banging on the keys! That's music???? He</div> <div>even asked me to attend the concert and touch up during intermission!</div> <div><br></div> <div>Regards,</div> <div>Avery</div> <div><br> <br> </div> <blockquote type="cite" cite> <blockquote type="cite" cite> <blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" color="#000000"><br> Thanks Tom &everyone else,<br> <br> <br> I just took the air-compressor in and blew it out good. Didn't see a<br> thing, though. However, yesterday's buzz is no longer there! Wierd.<br> Maybe I just moved whatever it was around enough that it's in a dead<br> spot on the board! :-) Anyway, it's gone for now. Hopefully it won't<br> come back.<br> <br> <br> Thanks everyone.<br> <br> <br> Avery</font></blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> <div><br></div> </body> </html>
