This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Good Morning All, Yesterday I called on a lady with a nice old Knabe Upright. During the = inspection phase of the service I found a few buzzes when certain bass = strings were played. Further inspection revealed the buzzes were = emanating from soundboard cracks. YIKES! She had been hearing them, = too, and they were annoying her. I fixed those buzzes on the spot by = folding a couple of business cards and inserting them into the cracks. = I told her that once I practiced doing soundboard shim repairs on a = couple of "guinea pigs" in my garage, I'd contact her about doing the = repairs the right way. She's interested in having them done. I made the decision to do the band-aid in the meantime like that because = I know she plays the piano often, and she lives alone, and it was so out = of tune! I just didn't want to turn around and leave by dismissing the = piano until the repairs could be done. What I'd like to ask those of you with more experience is this: did I = put the piano at any further risk by doing this "McGyver" type quick-fix = in the short term? It didn't seem like it could aggravate the problem, = really, and that the main downside would be that the cards were = susceptible to vibrating out again.... should I have put a drop of = Tite-bond on them? Should I NOT have done this for some reason? Thanks, John Dorr Helena, MT ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
