That mysterious rattle isn't just annoying—it’s a distraction from your music. In this installment of The Workshop, we’re tracking down the most common (and sometimes bizarre) causes of piano noises. From loose case parts and resonance from nearby room objects to internal debris on the soundboard, we’ll show you how to diagnose these "mystery rattles" like a pro. While some fixes are as simple as tightening a screw or moving a picture frame, others require a more technical touch. We’ll walk through 5 common culprits and show you exactly how to get your piano back to its pure, resonant self. _________ 🎹 Technical Specs Model: Yamaha YUS3 (Premium Professional Upright) Year of Manufacture: 2015 (Hamamatsu, Japan) Size: 52" Professional Cabinet Series: YUS Series (Hand-finished and voiced) Finish: Polished Ebony _________ 📍 About Seattle Piano Company Located in the heart of Georgetown, we specialize in the curation, restoration, and technical optimization of world-class instruments.
