None in the last 100 years and I'm only 71. So tell me what I missed.

Why?  Is it because it's a Baldwin?  Or is it because it's flat?  Or is it
because all other pianos have too much bearing?  Or is it because there is
some fairy dust that makes them allergic to excess bearing?  Maybe the
casters need grease.  I want to know.  What does the vertical hitch pins
have to do with it?
Does using vertical hitch pins on a non-Baldwin affect the decision on
downbearing?

Oh! I should have known, It's a soundboard design problem.
Just give me a clue as to why a "Baldwin can use less db than other pianos.
Thanks, I'm not trying to be difficult, just curious.
