What model piano is this?

  NOPE! Hammers are bored just fine. This is a much older piano, about =
1932.

    Knowing Baldwin, the bore distance was probably wrong & you're going =
to have to compromise "almost" everything to get it work out decently!=20

      OK, here's a little  mystery question for you regarding the weird =
feeling action of a Small Baldwin grand piano.
      =20
      I arrived today for a regulation job at customer's house. Took a =
quick tour of the action with my fingers, and proclaimed the action a =
mess. Let off  appeared to be about a half an inch from the strings, =
Drop was really low and keys were pretty much evenly low from factory =
spec, but just slightly, dip was a very fat 3/8". But here's the weird =
thing that caught me off guard for a few mystifying moments: The hammers =
were already adjusted to be a 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" and were pretty much in a =
good straight line.=20
      =20
      Yikes! I thought. Where am I going to get enough whippen lift =
from??? OK, that was the quickie analysis. What was wrong with the =
action set up as it was? Original hammers, and not too worn, by the way.
