Call Steinway and get advice... Not that it matters, but the S&S warranty used to be for ten years. In terms of the buzz, though, I think I'd be a little reticent about CA before really working through other possibilities, which are numerous. It could be something as simple as a manufacturing chip or a paper clip that is lodged in some out-of-the-way nook. I think I might try blowing things out with a leaf blower or air compressor. Working from easiest to fix/most likely to hardest to fix/least likely can save time and aggravation. Best.
