This is a really stupid arrangement because if a plectrum breaks or if you trim it too short you have to replace the whole jack. Mine are all intact but I did some investigation and found that a Hubbard jack will fit just fine (with some adjustments) into the register. I think some of these instruments actually had Hubbard-type jacks in them. The Baldwin “solid body harpsichords” were built by the Cannon Guild in Boston and I think Eric Hertz type jacks might be in some of them though this is just a guess since I haven’t seen any.</span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Book Antiqua" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; color: blue;"> </span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Book Antiqua" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; color: blue;">Eric</span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="blue" face="Book Antiqua" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Book Antiqua"; color: blue;"> </span></font></div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="red" face="Informal Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;">Eric Wolfley</span></font><font color="red" face="Informal Roman"><span style="font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;">, RPT</span></font><font color="blue"><span style="color: blue;"></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="red" face="Informal Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;">Director of Piano Services</span></font><font color="blue"><span style="color: blue;"></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="red" face="Informal Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;">College-Conservatory of Music</span></font><font color="blue"><span style="color: blue;"></span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="red" face="Informal Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;">University</span></font><font color="red" face="Informal Roman"><span style="font-family: "Informal Roman"; color: red;"> of Cincinnati</span></font></div> </div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: center;" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><b><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma; font-weight: bold;">From:</span></font></b><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Tahoma;"> <a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org">caut-bounces@ptg.org</a> [<a href="mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org?">mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org</a>] <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">On Behalf Of </span></b><a href="mailto:itunepiano@aol.com">itunepiano@aol.com</a><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, December 21, 2007 8:09 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> <a href="mailto:caut@ptg.org">caut@ptg.org</a><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [CAUT] Baldwin Electric Harpsichord</span></font></div> </div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyone know of a source for jacks for a Baldwin Electric Harpsichord?  I need 4 jacks, or at min the little lever that supports the plectrum.   Thanks!  Bob.</span></font></div> <div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;" align="center"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> <hr align="center" size="2" width="100%"> </span></font></div> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">More new features than ever.
