Baldwin termination bars

[Fred Sturm]

Dave,
	Unfortunately, that was already done. He says a previous tech had shoved 
pieces of muting felt down each unison. He has now inserted various sorts 
of wedges and whatnot in addition. Helps reduce, but doesn't eliminate the 
problem noise. I guess it _was_ "pretty bad" and is now "terribly bad." So 
the muting felt used to keep it mostly under control, but now even adding 
wedges doesn't.
	Thanks for the feedback. At least I can tell him he has some company.
Fred
