First Pitch Raise

The piano is a 1967 Schafer & Sons Grand.  I may not of noticed it before I tuned, but it is there now.  It is only when I play a few notes.

Hello all,
 
I just performed my first pitch raise (aural) in a clients home today.  It went really well...my arm is tired.  I just had a quick question.

After the pitch raise, and while I was fine tuning, a few of the strings in the tenor section started ringing when I played them.  What would cause that?  Thanks!

    Matthew,
    That's cause you broke the piano.
    Just kidding---
    How old---How cheap was the piano.
    I pitch raised a "Grand" spinet and had complaints along these lines.
    Old uprights with hard as rock dampers can develop this "leakage " after a big P.R.
    Or maybe the ringing was always there and you didn't hear it because you were playing ---not tuning
