Could be a loose screw or even something near the piano, such as a lamp. Maybe a loose bass string is buzzing in sympathy with F5. Check pedal props also, esp. if they're metal.

The buzz in question shows up while playing F5, whichi is two notes down from the strut. I have done all the usual tests and corrections that I usuall rely on, such as looking for cracks in the sound board, pressing on ribs in search of loose glue joints, reseating the strings, smoothing down the V-bar, cleaning up the notching, and cursing under my breath. We also vacuumed out the cabinet inside and out. Any ideas? Thanks, Patrick C.
