This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Greetings, Everyone! How are the bridges attached to the soundboard in a Steinway? Glue and = dowels? Are there any screws carefully hidden from view? The patient: A Steinway B, about 30 years old. The problem: A buzz -- that nasty wood-on-wood sound similar to the = loose-rib sound Found so far: Light pressure on the bridge over the affected area will = make it go away. The affected area is near the treble break, right = about where the strings to note G6 cross the bridge. The buzz is = activated by notes C4 (middle C) and to some degree C3. (Or am I dealing with a loose rib or a failed glue joint between the rib = and the board? I didn't see any cracks in any glue joints around the = ribs.) Is there a suitable in-home repair? My temptation is to install some = strategically placed screws, but I'm hoping that others on this list = have better ideas. Thanks in advance -- Z!
