It looks like no or almost no glue was used, and only screws were holding it in place. When pushing outward on the panel, the buzzing would completely stop. The left panel is very secure and you can see glue across the top and from top to bottom at the back where it is glued to the back frame on that panel.   I called Thomas Malone at the Baldwin factory, and he confirmed that sometimes workers goof, and apply very little or no glue to the side panels.  Since this is a pre-Gibson piano, there is no warranty.   My question is, what is the best way to make this repair? The side panel is attached, but I can separate it slightly from the back frame everywhere from top to bottom at the back. In order to get glue in, I think it would be best to tilt the piano forward and rest it on the keybed. Can the keybed support this weight? Also, what is the best glue to use now? Should I use epoxy, or is yellow glue ok?  I was planning on using long pipe clamps the full width of the piano. Getting the glue in is my biggest concern.   Has anyone seen this problem?  Appreciate any help.   Thanks.   Jerry Cohen NJ chapter         </div> </body> </html>
