Hi Guyz-n-Galz: 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.
