I got it!
   
  Maybe your unison on C3 is out.  Way out. Out like one of the bichord strings on C3 is a half step flat.  Then the two strings of B2 would vibrate in sympathy with the mistuned C3 string.  But...only when the sustain pedal engaged!

      I have a customer with a Petrov upright, about 7 years old. The problem is in the bass section. When you play C3 loudly with the sustaining pedal down, you hear a bit of the B next to it. The problem is NOT caused by the hammer being misaligned and striking part of the B bass string - -the hammer is nowhere near the B string. In fact, BOTH strings of the B note are vibrating when the C note is played loudly. I've never seen this problem or heard of it in all my years in business. Any ideas?
