I agree with Ed. I've "saved" a few pianos with them. And if they don't help in a pinch...well, nothing much will, short of killing the tone all together with some other method. Here's the website. http://www.pitchlock.com I'm not sure if Scott gives out samples or not.

If they work, they work, if not, it cost you 5 minutes, and no harm done to the piano. Pictures were posted in the Journal a year or two ago. If you don't have any, e-mail me and I'll send you a few.
