'D' buzz

[Fred S. Sturm]

Avery,
    I'll just second the suggestion of looking at the spider truck, if
it's on one. I have found buzzes emanating from a few places on trucks -
very troublesome, hard to find (spacially they often seemed to be from the
soundboard), and intermittent. Move the piano and it's gone (often).
