A "Rubber Band Sound"

Yesterday, I spent some time with a Kawai Console, doing some voicing and
tracking down rattles, buzzes, zings and, (to quote the client), "a rubber
band sound". She even went and got a large rubber band to demonstrate!<G>
The sound emits from F69, which is the first note w/o a damper. At first, I
thought she was referring to the sustain, but on closer listening, sure
enough, there is a sound that sounds like a rubber band, under tension,
being plucked! Danged if'n I could isolate where it was coming from! Truly
frustrating. Have any of y'all heard such a sound? It's a new one on me and
I would really like to solve the problem, if possible. Feedback
appreciated!<G>
