My major problem is I'm alone here in Panama. There are no other technicians
around that could possibly help me in a dream. If this Baldwin is so
particular as to how the string is put around the hitch pin, God help the
ambassador's piano if she gives the job to someone other than me. I will
have to buy a down bearing gauge and learn how to use it. I have already
sent an email to Baldwin to get information as to the stinging scheme and
the down bearing measurements. Thanks for the input.

  Hi Richard,
                     Contact Baldwin for a copy of their stringing guide,
that way you can correctly set the baring.   If it's unavailable, get an
experienced local tech to walk you through the process.
  This vintage of piano had Sycrotone strings, the core wire was a few sizes
too small, and too close to the percentage break point, and was prone to
breakage.   If you order the strings from Mappes, you will get a set of
modified strings that will work just fine.

  Hope this is helpful
  Roger

    Hi, all,
       What is there that is special about the Accu-Just Hitch Pins that a
technician should know before he starts taking strings off? I may put a set
of bass strings on a Baldwin M, but I am not familiar with the design of
this piano.

    Richard
