If none of that works then crawl underneath and look for foreign objects placed by children on top of the back leg or on top of the posts. It's a hiding spot for kids cars, quarters etc... -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of David Love Sent: Sunday, May 17, 2009 10:02 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] Soundboard Depends on what you mean by "rattling" and I can change with humidity depending on what it is but not likely. I'd look for some foreign object on the soundboard underneath the plate. Mirrors and flashlights are in order, or an air compressor to try and blow whatever debris might be under there. Could be the lid, fallboard, short stick, lock, something else in the room. Sadly, the possibilities are nearly endless.

He is in NJ. I went to tune it last week and he was complaining about rattling In the board. I did hear it, went under and tightened any bridge screws but it is still there. Will it possibly go away after more time in a higher humidity area? Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone _____ avast! Antivirus <http://www.avast.com> : Outbound message clean.
