Dear People,
     I have this piano at a church, its a Kawai grand, 20 yrs.=
 old, about 6.5'.  It has a note in the midrange that has a=
 barely audible buzzing.  I whacked (lightly) the bridge pin(s)=
 with a hammer (a small one) and the buzzing stopped.  But it=
 came back in a day or two.
 
     Do you think this is a loose bridge pin?  Is the fix to get=
 a bigger hammer?  I can go up to a 9 lb. sledge.  Or do I need=
 to pull the pins out and epoxy back in?  Any chance it could be=
 something other than a pin?  Like the bridge itself is loose?
 
     As always,  I appreciate very much any constructive=
 comments.  Thanks in advance.
