Hi Jason, my vote goes for a loose soundboard button. Probably the one below the upper part of the bass bridge. Oh, and it's probably the one right under the beam too.

To save time I asked the owner for as complete a description as possible. Here's the response: I have a Baldwin grand that has had a buzzing key since I bought it about a year ago... It's the B right below middle C. Been there since new. I'ts not a buzzing exactly, but an "off-color" side tone. The other tuner has worked on it 4 or 5 times, and replaced the string, with no help. Of interest is the fact that I can also hear it on adjacent keys (but to a MUCH lesser extent, almost inaudible). I can't find anything loose that might be vibrating. It's such a commonly used key that it's 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?
