I was trying to tune a Shoninger spinet tonight (what a horrible thing), and when I got to C#5, and to a lesser extent, D5, I heard the weirdest sounds. I knew that the thing had loose ribs, and they were buzzing most of the way up the piano, but at that point, they began to buzz "harmonically". I have never heard this before. I have attached a recording made on my Dell pocket PC, on which I run Tunelab. It is a .wav file, and can be opened with Windows Media Player. I turned the volume up, and it comes through clearly. And it is different the second time I hit C#, from the first time. Anyone heard this kind of vibe coming from loose ribs before? Clark A. Sprague, RPT
