[pianotech] String rattle

[John Voigt]

I would look at the bridges.  Once I had one where a bridge pin on the tenor
bridge was not driven in far enough and the bass string would rattle on it
when played loud.

  I have an older upright piano.   I have two notes that have rattles in
when played.  C and D in the bass section.   I have replaced both strings
for the D and still have the rattle.   How can I determine the source of the
rattle.   Sound Board has no cracks.

  Thanks
