I tuned this Baldwin Acro Spinet # 414959 today.  The bass bridge has a large crack at the front bridge pins.  Someone had removed the front pins, and placed a  rod under the strings, in place of the front bridge pins.  The strings rested 1/2 way up the rear bridge pins with no apparent damage.  The tone and sustain were acceptable for this instrument, which was in poor condition to begin with.  An alternative bridge repair?  To my surprise, the piano was at pitch.  Bob.
