Sounds like it you first close encounter with the Steinway  Plate wedge.  
Make sure it gets back where it belongs before the string  tension goes on. Yes, 
It's important!

Hello all
This close-up shows a metal shim which fell out  of a place between the "dam" 
and the underside "nose" of the plate on my  S&S 'A' . I stood it on the 
soundboard near its normal location. I can  only hazzard its use as being intended 
to convey the pressure of the  fully strung piano from the web to the dam and 
sound board. Any other ideas?  It is about 1/4" thick. You can see the gap 
into which it fits. It was nor  glued in place - should it be? I doubt it as the 
glue would give  a deadness and tend to be elastic in situ. 
Now all the strings are off, the soundboard gives  a healthy bass "thwummm" 
of G# 0 @ A=431 when tapped with a fingers on the  bass bridge. Having vacuumed 
off all the debris of ninety years I am about to  gently wash the plate and 
soundboard with a damp cloth from a bowl of water  with washing up liquid in.
Regards from a Sunday afternoon where the village  church bells have just 
finished pealing.
