I had the same situation with a Steinway M on one of the lowest bass
strings. What I found was that there was very little clearance between the
string and where first goes under the plate. No buzz during normal playing,
but on a hard blow the string's oscillation would be just wide enough to
lightly touch the plate and give me a zing.
