Each piano will pick up on them differently, but = they are audible to some degree or another on almost all pianos. You = can change the scale of those notes to shift the tones to a different = (and hopefully less bothersome) pitch, but it will also change the tone = quality at the same time. These are also greatly accentuated by voicing condition and room = acoustics. If the piano is in a live room, then adjusting the piano = location or adding absorption to the room will change the relative = loudness of these tones. It will not eliminate it altogether. You might call us at Kawai if you would like to discuss it. I will be = back in the office next Wednesday if you would like to call me then.
