[pianotech] Baldwin SD-10

[William Truitt]

Hi Les:

I got my Baldwin Piano Service Manual.  Here it is for the SD-10:

Key Height:  2 9/16"  (sharps are set 15/32" to 1/2" above natural key)
Key Dip: (+ or - .007)  .410"
Blow Distance:  1 7/8"
Let off:  1/16"
Hammer drop: 1/16" below let off
Back check:  5/8"
Aftertouch:  .045 (+ or - .015")
Action spread:  4 31/64"
Damper lift:  7/8"

As a former Baldwin dealer, I would say, don't assume anything.  My
experience was that the factory often varied widely from specs. Case fitting
often left something to be desired, so you will especially want to check
your key height, if you need to change it) against the bottom of the
fallboard.

Hope this helps,

Will Truitt:

I can't find my handbook for regulation specs, and need to have them for 
a 1987 Baldwin SD-10.   I'd appreciate help- no need to put them on 
list. My email is l-bartlett at sbcglobal.net

thanks much
