No, but to me they are more difficult to tune. I'm speaking of the grands, 
and more so the newer ones. I see a lot of them doing all of the Baldwin work 
for a large dealer. There seems to be too much friction at the bearing points 
making it difficult to equalize the string tension to get a good, stable 
tuning. The high treble can also have a lot of falseness.

I only see the overly tight pins on some of the verticals. Otherwise I find 
them very easy to tune.
