Group -
I have been asked to travel a couple of hours to fix a mystery noise. To
save time I asked the owner for as complete a description as possible.
Here's the response:

> It's the B right below middle C. Been there since new.  I'ts not a

> quite annoying. I notice it even when playing chords.

What do you folks suspect, given this description? What else should I ask to
get a better premonition?



Thanks in advance

Jason
