<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a piano teacher tuning customer who
purchased a new Pramberger 5' 6 or 8 ish grand about a year ago. He says it had
a mellow tone when he bought it, but is now complaining about the buzzy high
edge on the sound. I'm used to hearing this in many newer Asian pianos, so it
really doesn't bother me, but it does him, and he is the one who has to be
happy.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This isn't a loose screw problem. It sounds more
like what duplexing adds to the sound. I did needle voicing thru the mid-range
and got rid of the edge at low and moderate volumes, but with louder playing it
is still quite noticable. I didn't try to take the edge off the top two octaves
and he doesn't seem to mind the buzz up there. I pressed the wires firmly to the
bridge, with no apparent effect. If the problem was the seat at the capo and
agraffe's, wouldn't it be different between the two, or is the termination
point there machined to the exact shape in both the capo and agraffes in order
to purposely produce this buzz? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just got on this site, so I haven't reviewed all
the previous posts, but I did see the one on the Pitchlock staples. Is this
maybe coming from the duplexing and could it be fixed with the
Pitchlock staples in the duplex? Anybody fixed this one? Thanks for your
help and suggestions.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
