Baldwins of that vintage are poorly designed (or executed) in terms of matching leverage to hammer weight. Some need for altering the leverage or hammer weights is likely but the action needs to be analyzed by someone who is familiar with weight/balance/leverage protocols.

I have a Baldwin "L". Made in 1994 The action at the keys seems very "Heavy". Some keys more than others, but from A0-C8 most of the keys are difficult to push. It's as if there is something under the keys holding them back. Of course, there is not, but I am at a loss here. Any suggestions? Tank you...! Mark D.
