My first piano that I owned was a brand-spankin' new S&S 1098. Within it lived a little green man with a smallish cow bell that he would strike every time A4 and a couple nearby notes were struck. Hauntings are not just for bass strings anymore!

But after a good half-hour of discussing, playing, and listening with the customer, I believe I've narrowed it down to a quality of sound in that 7th and 8th notes on the recording that he has consistently identified. The others aren't objectionable to him, even though he may appreciate them being cleaned up at some date.
