Ed: I had a Steinway B with this same problem. Blew off the soundboard with an air compressor and all to no avail. Looked with light and dental mirror and couldn't see anything... but with persistance (lots!) finally curved around and saw one of the small brass hinge screws around where you couldn't see it and wedged in pretty well. With more persistance (lots!) I was able to pry it loose and get it out of there... Caused the whole bass and tenor to buzz badly! Hope this is of some help to you! Dianne R.
