Thanks Alan.  Good idea!  A new key would be great unless they've changed anything.  This piano is probably about 5 years old give or take a couple years.   I thought Baldwin might not be servicing any warranty claims on pianos made pre-Gibson ownership since Gibson bought only their "assets" and not their liabilities.

It was during the ownership transition to Gibson, so I don't know how things would go now, but I got a new key from Baldwin with very little hassle (just a few emails)--they didn't even charge me for it. Since this is still a piano in production, I think I'd at least try. Alan BarnardSalem, MO  -----Original Message-----

List,

I tuned a Baldwin Hamilton today that has a twisted or warped white key.  It can't be leveled with the others or squared.  The front of the key is twisted compared to the back.  When you set it on a flat surface you can really see the twist - the front left corner of the  key is up in the air about 1/8".  I know sometimes you can force a wedge into a kerf cut into a key that is bent or warped, but it doesn't seem like that would work on this twisted key.  I would appreciate your suggestions.  

Bob
