False beats Mystery

I am tuning a good quality grand.  The bass section goes fine but about
C5 I notice an increasing amount of false beating in EVERY note.  The
higher in the scale I go the harder it is to tune because the true
beating is getting buried under the false.  What is my problem?

Clue #1  The problem probably only occurs in the Southern areas.

Clue #2  The smaller the room, the more pronouced the false beating
becomes.

Have fun!
