<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:

probably still lurking, it just isn’t manifesting since you brought
humidity levels in the piano up to where they should be. </span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>For future reference, you probably could
have cured the buzz with CA glue. Just tip the piano on the side and run thin
CA down all the ribs. Squirt some all around the perimeter of the soundboard to
rim joint as well. Even at the top, squirt the glue up into the joint. The
capillary action of this glue will pull it vertically up into the glue joint. </span></font></p>

<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 color=green face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:green'>Never was I a great
fan of DampChaser until recently. This was mainly because in 30 years in the
piano industry, I had seen but one system that was cared for. This was the new
system with the warning lights.</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 color=green face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:green'>Meanwhile, a client
insisted that I install a DampChaser system in her Knabe salon grand. It was
against my better judgement, but she put her foot down!</span></font></p>
<p style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=4 color=green face=Verdana><span
style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:Verdana;color:green'>This piano had always
a buzz in the killer octave. There were no obvious loose ribs, and there was a
crack. I was the third technician to look after it in 25 years. I told her the
same theory as did the others, that it needed major repair, plate removal,
repair soundboard, and restringing. After the DampChaser was installed, the
buzz for the first time totally healed. It was incredible. Recently I checked
with her, it was about three years since we installed it, and she says its
fine, never better. I have one happy client, and what’s more important,
one healthy piano.</span></font></p>
