<P>
<DIV>Hi Guyz-n-Galz:</DIV>
<DIV> I had an interesting encounter with an =
Acrosonic
the other day. The customer complained about a click/squeak =
noise on
some notes, which she clearly noted on a card. I was =
unable to
hear what she was hearing, but said that if we tuned the piano first, =
the
noise might become more easily heard. So, I did a double pass =
tuning,
which sounded all right to me, and asked if she still heard the =
noise.
She played the notes which she objected to, and said the sound was =
still
there. We played around with the notes, until I finally heard
something. It was a noise, like a faint squeak, that =
appeared upon
release of the key. I was thinking the jack cushion felt on the =
butt was
the culprit, but that wasn't it. I removed the wooden sticker =
from the
action and after a few minutes of fussing around with the wippen, =
found the
source of the noise. See if you can guess what the cause (and =
remedy)
was.&nb! sp; Hint: the jack had nothing to do with the =
noise. </DIV>
