Subject: Harsh clanging bass

We have a Baldwin SD, about 6 years old.  Recently the piano teacher 
mentioned that the bottom octave and a half develops a very harsh percussive sound 
when notes are repeated at forte or louder.   An inital attack sounds okay, and 
the pinning seems similar to the rest of the instrument, (although I didn't 
measure the flanges).
 
What can I look for as a cause of this problem?  Thanks.

   Unlevel strings or unmated hammers or both. Some of that kind of sound is 
a normal phenomena because on repeated notes the strings are phasing however 
they wish. If the hammers are flat on top or just harder it exacerbates the 
problem, no what I mean.
