<font size=3>Jason, <br><br>
Something that made my ears "perk up" was the comment about
"off-color" side tone. Besides the obvious things you'll check,
I'd also check the string level/hammer mating thing. A bad one can cause
a lot of "off-color" tones! :-) Besides, it's a Baldwin! :-D Of
course, it might also be an agraffe noise. <br><br>

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:<br>

<dl><br>
<dd>I have a Baldwin grand that has had a buzzing key since I<br>
<dd>bought it about a year ago...<br>
<dd>It's the B right below middle C. Been there since new. I'ts not
a<br>
<dd>buzzing exactly, but an "off-color" side tone. The
other tuner has <br>
<dd>worked on it 4 or 5 times, and replaced the string, with no help.
Of<br>
<dd>interest is the fact that I can also hear it on adjacent keys (but
to<br>
<dd>a MUCH lesser extent, almost inaudible). I can't find anything
loose <br>
<dd>that might be vibrating. It's such a commonly used key that
it's<br>
<dd>quite annoying. I notice it even when playing chords.<br><br>
</dl>What do you folks suspect, given this description? What else should
I ask to get a better premonition?<br><br>
<br><br>
Thanks in advance<br><br>
Jason<br><br>
