Greetings, 
     I suggest that the greatest cause of instability in Baldwins is their 
insane pin torque.  I have measured over 200 in/lbs in some and have had one 
fine old tuning hammer break while attempting to tune one.  I no longer take them 
on, (arthritis in the wrist made that a no-brainer).
