I have had a similar problem in pianos from bars and supper clubs where
cigarette smoke was the culpritt leaving a residue on the dampers along with
some dust and other unknown substances causing them to sizzle. I took my 3
needle voicing tool to them in the bass and peeled the top layer in the
tenor and treble.
