John Formsma _____ From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Joseph Alkana Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 7:46 PM To: Pianotech Subject: Fw: soundboard buttons Joseph Alkana RPT ----- Original Message ----- From: Joseph <mailto:josephspiano@comcast.net> Alkana To: Pianotech <mailto:pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 7:56 PM Subject: soundboard buttons A new subject I need some advise on, please! Tuned a nine foot Estonia today, it had some noticeable buzzing going on. I won't pose this as a puzzler as I need some advice on the subject asap. The cause of the buzzing was broken soundboard buttons. They were made of some kind of nylon or plastic and all of them had broken in half thru the screw hole. I took quite a handful of debris from all the locations and tossed it. Now there are screws standing proud of the board by a good half-inch. The question: Should I order some buttons and replace, or remove all the screws as a cosmetic solution. I can detect no change in the tonal quality of the instrument at this point and I don't have any way to tell if the bridge/board is compromised in any way. The instrument is about twelve years old and has had hammers shaped and a fine regulation done of recent times. Except for a poor feel in the action, which would benefit mightily with a Stanwood application and a lightening of the hammers, I don't find the piano in too bad of shape. Yes, the buzzing is gone. And, yes the Estonia is going to be replace with a Steinway soon. Suggestions please? Joseph Alkana RPT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
