Problems

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

Brett,
Pull on the cross strut while producing that buzzing sound.  If it 
ameliorates: back-out the screw a little then tighten it (Bill Youse 
recommends giving the strut a tap with a rubber mallet to seat it) 
both ends.  This is not that uncommon, it can loosen up if the piano 
is moved a lot.  I ended up trickling CA glue around one here to 
eliminate the buzzing because the screws wouldn't budge either way.
