mystery buzz

[Avery]

Jason,

Something that made my ears "perk up" was the comment about 
"off-color" side tone. Besides the obvious things you'll check, I'd 
also check the string level/hammer mating thing. A bad one can cause 
a lot of "off-color" tones! :-) Besides, it's a Baldwin! :-D Of 
course, it might also be an agraffe noise.
