[CAUT] Baldwin R key bedding

[Paul T Williams]

Ohhh  Yeah...I discovered that! 

What a pain this piano is turning out to be.  Good thing it's just a 
universy (no extra expense..just my time) piano and not a customer's!!!! 
<G>

Thought everything was pretty good...then discovered the right action 
bracket wasn't all the way secured to the frame..actually 3-4 mm's...When 
that was discovered and really tightened down the stack again....., 
whadythink..?. the hammers went way up on the high treble !!!!!  I KNOW... 
START OVER!!.  The bass was still right on, though!   Oh, what we learn 
even after so many years!!!!!  NOTICE TO NEWBYS...IT WILL HAPPEN TO 
YOU!!!!! (and oldby's! <G>)

BTW...What does DAMHIK mean?  I'm so out of touch!!

Thanks!

Paul

     One additional thing to keep in mind with this vintage Baldwin,  if 
the stack doesn't sit evenly on the keyframe, it will need the feet 
shimmed. 
otherwise, when tightened down, it will flex the frame enough to lit one 
or 
more of the glides back off the keybed.  (DAMHIK).
