If it is I would definitely check the amount of counterbearing on the waste side of the agraffe. I have had a few Bostons that apparently did not have thick enough rest felt-high enough string rests that developed a very annoying buzz in that area, particularly on a hard blow. Check it by pulling some bushing cloth under the unison just to the players side of the agraffe between the wire and rest felt and see if it goes away.
