Baldwin G scaling problems?

[John Minor]

I tuned a Baldwin G from 1932 at a church recently and cannot seem to
satisfy the ears of the choir director. It sounds a bit like a spinet in
the bass, with wild harmonics. When I tuned to the SAT III, the 2 bichords
on the treble bridge sounded awful to the ear! The piano was rebuilt by
the best rebuilders in the area using Mapes bass strings. I wondered if
they might not have gotten a bad set of strings. Anyone else notice any
scaling problems on this model?
