John, Check to see if any bridge pins are touching the plate bars. Also check to see if there is enough clearance between the nose bolts and the holes in the sound board. I have found more than one Steinway with a nose bolt touching the sound board. If you find this problem cut the end off of a coping saw blade and saw around the nose bolt from under the piano. In addition see if the nose bolts are properly seated and the nuts are tight. Same for the bell bolt and nut. Good luck, John Hartman "John D.
