Highly irritating
on: February 16, 2003, 07:59:56 AM
Yeah...
My Kawai upright is making all these "rattling" noises.... it really bothers me. Any tips? It's coming from the little thing where you put your music, but no matter how much I tighten the screws, the noise won't stop!
Argh!

Could it be the keyboard lid or drop which of course rests against the piano when open and is often a cause of unwanted vibrations
and rattles when you play? Often the rattle is caused by a sympathetic vibration where wood is lightly touching wood. Try to track it down.
Cheers!

If you've tightened the screws so much and still there is a rattle, take the "thing" off and then see what is still rattling.

I suggest you take the lids and covers off, one piece at a time. In most of these cases, the noise is from sympathetic vibrations that is caused by loose screws.
give that a try.
Shouldn't be a major problem.

Hehe, my Kawaii upright has buzzed since the day it was born. Usually hitting the fallboard takes care of it. Once I would find the buzz, the weather would change and a new one would start.
Glad to see I am not the only one with this issue.
