Marshall,<div><br></div><div>It depends on what is meant by "rebuild." In my world, rebuild means replacing the pinblock. Check the action also. It might be that this "rebuilt" piano was only refinished and restrung, with the original action parts left on. Happens all the time around here.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The buzz could be almost anything. They are hard to track down sometimes. First thing to check is on top of the soundboard underneath the plate. There might be an object lying on top of the soundboard. One of those rubber-coated soundboard steels from Pianotek will generally find it. Could also be a loose bridge pin, or bad notching.</div>

<font size="3" face="Arial">I received a call today from a guy who had a 1926 Hamilton grand rebuilt for 4k. He said that there was a buzz somewhere in the piano and the guy would go under the piano with a long screw driver. it woud help for an hour or so and buzzz it was back. </font><br>

<font size="3" face="Arial">I'm not a rebuilder, wish I was of course. However, when a piano is rebuilt, is it customary to replace the pin block or if the pin block is good, wil a rebuilder just leave the old one there? He told me that the tech. said that the pin block was fine. Buzzing could be lots of things, so I won't know until I check it out, but would someone sticking a screwdriver underneith indicate tightening sound board button scews or bridge screws? I'm going to possibly tune it this week. thanks again</font><br>
