  Terry,
    As Ron says, laying the piano on it's side may be needed. Also, I =
had experience with an extremely hard-to-hear buzz (pretty much only =
showed up on recording) SD-10 that turned out to be a metal filing =
hanging down from the plate.=20
    As far as rib gluing goes, don't forget your vacuum cleaner. If you =
adjust (permanently) the tip of a crevice tool, you can make it fit into =
the 90=B0 formed between the rib and the board. Touch the crevice tool =
tip to a grinder, on both sides, as if sharpening a lathe gouge. Feed =
glue onto the other side of the rib while applying suction to near side, =
and pull the glue into the crack. I would use thinned wood glue. Fun, =
noisy, and you can think of all kinds of crude puns as you work.

  Later,
  Guy

in the world can that be done on a grand in a home with a nice floor =
without flipping it over? Any ideas? Thanks.

    This is my IRATE customer from last week. I am going to take Ron =
N.'s advise and exhaust the possibility of a penny or paper clip on the =
panel first (I've got my lights and mirrors and search-sticks). And =
believe it or not, she can't be there again - YIKES!
