Terry:

Tape measure and micrometer (core and outer diameter) of the adjacent
strings.  Send the data off to your favorite string maker to fill in the
missing strings.  Unless you have a fondness for ordering things twice.

I need to order some bass string replacements for a 1990 Baldwin. I  
get that date from Pierce - but as we know, Baldwin/Acrosonic serial  
numbers can be confusing. I would have guessed the piano was a bit  
older, but maybe not. I looked all over the piano for a model number  
and found none. I didn't have a tape measure or micrometer with me.  
I'm hoping if I can figure out the model number, I can get strings  
from Schaff or somewhere (they might have scale data).

This Baldwin spinet is one of a zillion made. It does not say  
Acrosonic on it. It is a very plain case, it does not have a separate  
drop sticker rail (is that what you call the older ones with the  
little levers resting on the key capstans - you know, old Acrosonics  
and Wurlys). This is by far the most popular (only?) spinet made by  
Baldwin during the 80s and 90s - you've all seen a million of 'em.  
Anyone know the model designation?

Sorry for the lack of any more description.
