false beats

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Thomas,
                  I'm no Steinway expert , but I have serviced a few with
this treble problem.
The forward temination bars was very poorly dressed and pitted, once
polished and lubricated most of the junk noises cleaned up.  the treble
hammers were also over juiced.
Make sure the strings are seated to the bridge, and that you have no loss
bridge pins first.
Regards Roger
