Hi Andrew, Have you tried the small drop of epoxy on the strings? I've tamed many Baldwins with Shrill-itis. There was an article a few years ago showing this. I tried it... I liked it...

I've got some tuning coming up for piano days here in Laredo. They want to do some duos and use the two resident concert grands together. Bit of a mis-match if you ask me... I'll encourage bringing another D over from another local venue but...I'll probably be stuck with tuning the Baldwin to the D. Here's the rub. The Baldwin has those proprietary front duplex thingamajigs and the shrieking and buzzing are just plain shrill and nasty. They are all over the place angle-wise so I haven't figured out a rhyme or reason for their positions. Does anyone know how to tame these or shall I just stuff that all full of felt for the concert at hand? Wondered about trickling CA glue in around the thingamajigs to see if that would help but it would be a nuisance to clean up if I had to. For those of you who wonder, the Baldwin was replaced by the D and banished to the choir room where it plays second fiddle to a Boston upright. Has great stability and good tone for the most part except the treble. Open to ideas, hopefully expertise.
