Boston

>I have come across, what seems to me, a recurring problem with the Boston
>grand pianos.  
>
>When playing forte there is a buzzing in the lower treble.  
>
>This is accompanied by a short sustain, about 5-8 seconds.
>
>The problem does not seem to be connected to the hammers.  I repeat, these
>are more than one, and more than two instruments, with the buzzing isolated
>to this area.
>
>Any thoughts?  Might it be bridge-connected?
>
>What is your general experience with Boston?

Check bearing and soundboard crown. If they are both positive, take a look
at the capo and front duplex. Welcome to the killer octave.
