mystery buzz

[Marcel Carey]

Hi Jason,
 
my vote goes for a loose soundboard button. Probably the one below the
upper part of the bass bridge. Oh, and it's probably the one right under
the beam too.

Group -
I have been asked to travel a couple of hours to fix a mystery noise. To
save time I asked the owner for as complete a description as possible.
Here's the response:

I have a Baldwin grand that has had a buzzing key since I
bought it about a year ago...
It's the B right below middle C. Been there since new.  I'ts not a
buzzing exactly, but an "off-color" side tone.  The other tuner has 
worked on it 4 or 5 times, and replaced the string, with no help. Of
interest is the fact that I can also hear it on adjacent keys (but to
a MUCH lesser extent, almost inaudible).  I can't find anything loose 
that might be vibrating.  It's such a commonly used key that it's
quite annoying. I notice it even when playing chords.

What do you folks suspect, given this description? What else should I
ask to get a better premonition?

 

Thanks in advance

Jason
