If it is a notch in the string, I can only guess that somehwere along the 
way, someone might have put a screwdriver tip to the string. Another 
possibility is that it sat in one location for along time, against the agraf, 
and it created a notch. Perhaps the piano was not tuned for a long time. 
These are only guesses. I don't have a possitive answer.
