apply some drops of glue between soundboard and rips. Then spill a liter of FarmerBlind [TM] on the surface of the piano to let the customer think you would have done some miracles to his PSO. Charge cash and run! Donīt leave your business card.<BR>

I was trying to tune a Shoninger spinet tonight (what a horrible <BR>> thing), and when I got to C#5, and to a lesser extent, D5, I heard the <BR>> weirdest sounds. I knew that the thing had loose ribs, and they were <BR>> buzzing most of the way up the piano, but at that point, they began to buzz <BR>> "harmonically". I have never heard this before.<BR>> I have attached a recording made on my Dell pocket PC, on which I run <BR>> Tunelab. It is a .wav file, and can be opened with Windows Media Player. I <BR>> turned the volume up, and it comes through clearly. And it is different the <BR>> second time I hit C#, from the first time.<BR>> Anyone heard this kind of vibe coming from loose ribs before?<BR>> Clark A.
