Buzzing U1

[RptBob1@AOL.COM]

List:

Just got back from a music store that  had just uncrated a new Yamaha U1.  
When  I played  it I noted a lot of notes in the Bass that were 
clanging/buzzing quite annoyingly loudly.  When I touched the strings just 
next to the windings, the noise ceased. Of course, the string no longer 
resonated as it should, but at least the clanging/buzz disappeared.

Not every note in the Bass did this- some next door "neighbors" were fine.  
My suspicion is that these bad strings (15 0r 20 in all) are defective.  I 
was not there to do work on the piano so I went no further than what I 
described above. Any ideas out there and/or similar experiences with this 
usually outstanding piano?
