Did this sound happen when you jiggled the piano somehow? If not,
did something you did trigger it or was it some random noise? <br>

Sounds like you're on the right track. I wondered if somebody would nail
it <br>
right away. The second occurrence happened as I bumped the right cheek of
the piano <br>
while walking past it, the first as I was pulling out the action. <br>

I put in a long service day on a neglected and much-played <br>
Mason & Hamlin BB, about ten years old. When I first started <br>
pulling the action out, I heard a soft repeated Eb7, sort of <br>
like a very loose bobbling hammer, but not quite. It got <br>
softer and faster till the sound disappeared, like when a <br>
ping pong ball is bouncing, and then coming to rest. <br>
<br>
I said, "oops", and wondered if some action trouble had <br>
a hammer doing a dance in the high treble -- but the <br>
hammer was down, just like the others. "Go figure", <br>
I said to myself, and carried on. <br>
<br>
A couple of quiet hours later, with the keys on a little <br>
folding cart six feet from the piano, and the action reversed <br>
(hammers out) on the bare keybed to get teflon on the <br>
knuckles -- there was the same sound again. Eb7. Nothing was <br>
near the Eb7 string. <br>
<br>
I never have heard that sound from a piano before, let alone with <br>
no action and keys involved. <br>
<br>
What was it? <br>
<br>
(P.S. I figured it out ...) <br>
