David,

Contact Stacy Yoak in Baldwin Tech service.  stacy.yoak@bpao.com or
(877) 889-4805 -   I believe they have a procedure sheet on this.  I'm sure
I have a copy somewhere around here but it's not scanned or at hand.  To
answer your other questions: Yes, each string is measured.  Not to my
knowledge.  No.  Yes.

If you can't reach him, let me know and I'll see if I can find that.

  Subject: Baldwin accu-hitch pins


  I recently assessed a Baldwin D with accu hitch pins.  After measuring the
bearing in several places I found that the piano generally was set up with
negative rear bearing (Lowell Gauge).  I am considering adjusting the rear
bearing in order to get the overall bearing where I want it.  What is the
general procedure for doing this?  Does one measure each string in each
section?  Or is there a way to set the end strings, for example, of each
section and somehow put all the strings on the same plane?  Do you have to
let off the tension to move the string down (in this case) the hitch pin?
Or can I just tap it down with a brass rod?  Input is appreciated.
