Yup.

I don't DO this, but I have DONE it. Take the example of the dull sounding 
B. How much time would you like to spend trying to eliminate a nasty duplex 
sound on one isolated note in a piano that generally sounds that bad? In my 
case, not much, and I don't carry "white" glue. For the most part, the 
sundry duplex whistles, doinks, shrieks, and yeows get ignored if there are 
no specific complaints.
