Rob, Nice to hear from you, I thought that I was the only one that recieved pianos like that. Two suggestions come to mine. Check the down bearing, about 10 thou with the standard dial gauge in the first soprano section. I have been sucessful in masking the problem by steaming the forward shoulder of the hammer only, this has worked but I'm still trying to understand why. I think its because less energy is directed towards the bar, but maybe I'm out to lunch on that one. Finally remove the bronze medal fom the plate its secured by 2 phillips screws,if the problem goes away use double sided carpet tape and reinstall. P.S. I bet you a toony its the medal, just had the same problem on Winnepegs Concert Halls SD10. See you the next time I'm in Edmonton. Maybe an Oilers game. Kind regards Roger.
