Buzzzzz

[bart]

Hello, I wonder if anyone could explain something to me. I have a new K2 and I am generally very happy with it. However, every now and then, a random key will "buzz" whenever played. This goes on for a few days, and then the buzz disappears, for no obvious reason. Then, say a month later, the buzz will appear again, perhaps at a different key. Again, it simply disappears after a few days.

Is this unusual? What is the explanation.

Thanks

Bart

Buzzing can be a pain on all pianos, most are sympathetic vibrations which can come from a wide range of bits on and off the piano. make a note of each note that is Buzzing When the tuner come to tune point them out and you can bet that on that day there will be no buzz . keeping a note of which are buzzing it will give them a paten and that will help

Buzzes can be hard to trace,would have your piano tuner check soft fall mechanism behind fallboard and tighten screws,had a couple and traced the noise to that part of the piano.

Make a note of the weather on 'buzzy' days too; sometimes a dry day (or dry conditions in the house) will result in a rattle.

Always best to start with the removal all panels. This will eliminate that area. Then it is a case of getting someone to play the note hard repeatedly while you hunt for it. Its a pain to do a tuner is used to it.

Although you may clearly hear the buzz IN the piano it may in fact be elsewhere in the room.
Having removed all the panels as previously advised and the buzz persists,go round the round while someone plays the offending note and touch any likely suspects. The most common suspects are electric fires, pictures and ornaments etc.
In old pianos, check the beading on the back securing the backing cloth.
