Andrew I had the same problem some years ago, and was told by Willard Sims to replace the wippen cushions, which reduced the noise significantly. Of course you'll have to regulate the action, but it was worth it. ?

It tuned up beautifully with a nice really clean treble.? ? What bothered me was excessive action noise, thumping on every key. It started to stand out in the midrange? so I pulled the action thinking there must be foreign objects or bedding issues. No FOs but bedding might be an? issue, no glides.? ? Is this a typical feature of Baldwins or is this likely a bedding issue?? ? Andrew Anderson.? ?
