Buzz in an S&S D

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

David,
The local dealer has burnt all bridges with the schools here.  As far 
as she is concerned there is no such thing as a warranty issue with a 
Steinway piano...

I will be expected to get rid of the perturbing buzz prior to the 
concert (Sunday tomorrow).  I will be looking closely and try to 
visually identify the problem.  I am cautious with the stuff too.
