Let me guess,,,,, you just got done tuning a prime example.....
    If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that Baldwin fixes any pin at
the factory which measures more than 300 inch pounds; below that and they're
considered to be OK.
    Oh, and to the post which asked about the difference between "jumpy" and
"snappy" pins; Snappy pins make a sound like a gun shot-almost. Almost makes
you jump if you weren't prepared for it.

  They are a serious problem and should be referred to as cracky.  replace
the
  ck with pp and you have them identified.  These pianos are in some cases
  impossible to tune and Baldwin should address this....With concert and
fest
  tunings and time alloted to 10 or so pianos and you hit one of these
bitches,
   they will not be stable for long no matter what you do and some performer
is
  going to be shorted and will be verrrrrry upset....Exactly what does
Baldwin
  say the problem is?  And there is a problem, believe me....If there was
  adequate preparation at the factory they should cull these out, not put
them
  on the concert tour.......How about it Baldwin?  Any answers?  How about a
  class action recall?  I'm sure there are many on this list that can send
you
  the models and locations.  Whereas, for example, Yamaha's are a pleasure
to
  tune, these pianos! ! are nothing short of torture and a waste of time to
tune.
  From now on, when I go out the day before to do initial tunings and prep,
I
  will call for a replacement should we receive one of these dogs.
