Hi all, I don't service all that many Baldwin grands, but yesterday I had the opportunity to pitch raise, tune and do a few little repairs on a neglected 18 year old or so Baldwin M. Not a bad little pianner. I had the action out to remove a few foreign objects that were causing keys and dampers to malfunction, when I noticed that there was a pretty bad keyframe knock. Despite the fact that the cheek blocks have downbearing on the keyframe end-pins, the knock did not entirely go away when I tightened the cheek block bolts. I wanted to bed the keyframe, but found that there is no access without removing the end keys. Then I thought, "these glides may be fixed?" I didn't have time to deal with it yesterday, but will go back in the near future, armed with any tips I might get here from those of you with more experience with these pianos. Baldwins always seem to have some quirk or other, don't they?
