Mark, David, Ron & Ric,

Thanks for your replies to my questions. I just spoke to my customer  
and she has agreed to try replacing the strings on the note. If I can  
get the agraffe out without any fuss I will try polishing the holes  
as shown by Paul in the March 05 Journal. Trying to use the reamer  
during in home service could get a bit dicey. It needs to be  
perfectly still, preferably at a drill press to ream correctly.  
Paul's point about the reamers leaving striations is a good one. The  
buffing method is more work but perhaps better for in home service.  
We'll give it a try and hopefully this will work for now. She has not  
complained of other notes having this buzz but I would bet that will  
come up at another time.

Thanks again,
Don
