Dave,

You don't give us much to go on, and how many ways can a piano have a
squeak?  Quite a few, I reckon.  We don't even know which area of the
piano the squeak comes from.

But we know it was a vertical, since grands don't have bottom boards, and
we know it was fairly easy to find, since it took you only a few minutes
to locate.  On the other hand, maybe it was hard, since it stumped another
technician.

My guess is a liftrod hook rubbing on its metal hanger or an incorrectly
bushed hanger.

Regards,
Clyde
