Resonated 3 octaves higher. Imagine an old-fashioned metal orange juice can vibrating quickly.<BR><BR>Couldn't voice it out. Present on all 6 strings. Not in the duplex or front scale. No loose screws in the action or cavity. No change in bzzz volume when I applied hand pressure to long and bass bridges or the ribs or soundboard immediately below.<BR><BR>Appears to be localized at or below the plate where the last wrapped strings cross plain wire, down by the long bridge. Irritation is even more prominent under the piano.<BR><BR>Another client with an older A has similar symptoms. He has never been available to help me chase down the bzzz.<BR><BR><BR>I'm guessing that this is more design-related than string related. If this is a gift of the longitudinal mode, then swapping stock strings will probably have no impact.<BR><BR><BR>Anybody else experience this problem?<BR><BR>Ideas?<BR><BR>thanks<BR><BR>Terry </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">See what's free at <A title="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" href="http://www.aol.com?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503" target="_blank">AOL.com</A>. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
