I had an intermittent buzz in a Baldwin Grand that turned out to be a #4
screw under the cantilever of the bass bridge. The buzz was there before the
piano was brought to pitch and tuned. Then it disappeared. I bought a
flashlight with a long, thin extension. I used it and a mirror and caught
the shadow of the screw as the light passed it. It took some wire bending
and patience to get it out. The screw appeared to be a lid hinge screw, but
all of them were there. I also got a factory grand hammer spacing tool that
was left in a new grand. It was laying behind the stretcher, buzzing from
bass notes. This piano had a removable stretcher.
