  Hi Guyz-n-Galz:
      I had an interesting encounter with an Acrosonic the other day.  =
The customer complained about a click/squeak noise on some notes, which =
she clearly noted on a card.   I was unable to hear what she was =
hearing, but said that if we tuned the piano first, the noise might =
become more easily heard.  So, I did a double pass tuning, which sounded =
all right to me, and asked if she still heard the noise.  She played the =
notes which she objected to, and said the sound was still there.  We =
played around with the notes, until I finally heard something.  It was a =
noise, like a faint squeak, that appeared upon release of the key.  I =
was thinking the jack cushion felt on the butt was the culprit, but that =
wasn't it.  I removed the wooden sticker from the action and after a few =
minutes of fussing around with the wippen, found the source of the =
noise.  See if you can guess what the cause (and remedy) was.&nb! sp; =
Hint: the jack had nothing to do with the noise. =20
