[CAUT] P22 buzzing

[Zeno Wood]

Hello list!

I've been lurking for a little while, ever since I started working at a
college.  I'm wondering if anyone could help with a problem I found.

A professor emailed me that she had a broken string on her Yamaha P22 (yes,
it's part of a loan program), G#2.  I checked it out - the string isn't
broken.  When played, the speaking length of the right string buzzes against
the hitchpin directly below it (that is, a hitchpin for one of the treble
notes).  It sounds pretty cool, but not too piano-like.  Turns out that
there are 5 other strings that do the same thing, but they have to be played
a lot louder.  I thought back to when I tuned this thing back in October or
so, and didn't remember finding this problem.  But now it's February and the
RH is nil.  But none of our other P22s do this.

What do you think?  How can this be fixed?  Should it be fixed?  It's not
our piano, so it'll go back to Yamaha to be sold after the spring semester.

Thanks for any ideas,
Zeno Wood
