Hi, Once I tuned a piano where the movers had "stuffed" an elastic band between the beams and the soundboard. Response seemed to suffer *grin*. It was only by accident that I found it. I wondered why the piano was so dead in one area (it was a yamaha c7) Is the piano on a concrete floor by any chance? Try some wood under the legs if it is. Another (distant) possibility is standing waves in the room at the frequency around those four notes--try shifting the position of the piano and see if the tone improves.
