Ron, try the following:
1. Check for loose bridge pins.  They don't have to be very loose to cause a 
problem.

2. Check the bridge for loose joints, cap and contact with soundboard.

3. Get a friend to play the piano while you check for loose soundboard, ribs 
etc.

4. Tighten all hardware, just in case it is a buzz from case parts, hinge.

5. Check damper wires in case they are contacting the string on a hard blow.

6. Check rim for separations. If the piano really was hit hard by the 
forklift it could have a pretty non traditional source for buzzing.

7. Check bottom of soundboard for loose glue. I don't know if this is a 
common problem with the Hamburg instruments but is very common in the NY ones.

That's a start, I'm sure there are many more things that other people can 
think of.  TP
