Bought an old Baldwin Hamilton at an auction...it had been vandalized in a church and the church didn't want to deal with it. Most of the damage was to the keys. I think they took a hatchet to them. Many destroyed, some in small pieces, etc. I took a chance that Baldwin could supply me with a new set of keys, but they were no help, since the model was quite old. My piano key service says about $1,000 to rebuild. So, my question to the list: Does anyone have a set of old Hamilton keys? This piano is of the type that the lid opens normally and the front comes off. If you have what I'm looking for, key #1 has a very slight dog-leg to the right looking from the front of the key. Most of the newer Hamiltons have an angle to the left on key #1. Thanks for your help. Please respond privately. Kit Cleworth
