Are these wood or plastic buttons? If they are wood, pull the screws, put a little Titebond on them and screw them back tight. If they are plastic just tighten the screws. Shouldn't cause any problems either way. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 6939 Foothill Court SW, Olympia, Washington 98512 USA Phone 360.515.0119 Cell 360.388.6525 del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Aart in America Piano Services Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 4:11 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] U-3 Loose buttons Hi List. I checked out a U-3 for sale for a customer today, The piano was in beautiful condition, hammers, action, cabinet all great. Tuning A=440, however there were about 5 loose buttons (no cracks). Ribs were tight and soundboard looked good, bridges looked fine and appeared to be tight and in place. My question is can the button screws be tightened or is there a possible underlying problem why the buttons would be loose? Thanks, Aart Aart in America Piano Co.
