Hello All: I need some help in tracing down a buzz in a Vose upright piano. 
The buzz in question shows up while playing F5, whichi is two notes down 
from the strut. I have done all the usual tests and corrections that I 
usuall rely on, such as looking for cracks in the sound board, pressing on 
ribs in search of loose glue joints, reseating the strings, smoothing down 
the V-bar, cleaning up the notching, and cursing under my breath. We also 
vacuumed out the cabinet inside and out. Any ideas? Thanks,
