glue on the fingers

[David Love]

OK.  A loose screw can buzz.  I suppose you could also have just tightened
the screw.

No other source. The instances in which I found this, the screws were at
best finger tight, and when I put my finger on them, the buzzing stopped.
When I removed them before plugging the hole, the buzzing stopped. When I
plugged the holes, the buzzed remained stopped and didn't return.

I have to agree with Ron here, I've never heard a buzzing screw in this 
situation and considering the number of pianos that screw the soundboard to 
the ribs as a production procedure (Bechstein for example) where there is no

evidence of buzzing it seems like their must be some other source in those 
situations.

As far as I know, I've never left a godawful mess doing this 
repair, nor have I ever, that's *EVER* known first hand of a 
screw buzzing in this situation. If I had, I'd likely have a 
different opinion. So for me, the job is finished when the 
screw is tight and the squeeze out is mopped up. I may yet get 
a call any minute now about a buzzing screw from that last job 
I did, but it's pretty quiet so far.
