To save time I asked the owner for as complete a description as possible. Here's the response:</P> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <P>I have a Baldwin grand that has had a buzzing key since I<BR>bought it about a year ago...<BR>It's the B right below middle C. Been there since new.  I'ts not a<BR>buzzing exactly, but an "off-color" side tone.  The other tuner has <BR>worked on it 4 or 5 times, and replaced the string, with no help. Of<BR>interest is the fact that I can also hear it on adjacent keys (but to<BR>a MUCH lesser extent, almost inaudible).  I can't find anything loose <BR>that might be vibrating.  It's such a commonly used key that it's<BR>quite annoying. I notice it even when playing chords.</P></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>What do you folks suspect, given this description?
