[CAUT] Baldwin SD

[Andrew Anderson]

I've run into a Baldwin doing something similar.  Does pressing down 
with a screw driver on the front segment (between agraffe & pin) 
aleviate the ringing?  I've heard of tapping the screw driver down on 
the strings on the non-speaking side of the agraffes to put a little 
bend there that reduces the contact point.  Particularly where there 
is a steep exit from the agraffe.  Anyone else try this?
