Dear Bill,
If I were you and this was a Yamaha under warranty I would order a new
string (s?) for this note and see what happens.  GH-1's are not the
greatest example of Yamahas expertise at building fine pianos.  I have
found they are most ancious to make the tech and client satisfied as well
as maybe giving you good advice on the phone.  I have found that no one is
any better at doing this.
