List, I have been analyzing the action on a Baldwin SD10 B getting ready to rebuild it and found that the tenor and treble hammers (factory) are all hung at 88 1/2 degrees rake- understriking. The bass hammers are hung at 90 degrees rake. Both of these produce level shanks upon string contact (once I figured in some hammer wear.) Have you seen this on concert Baldwins? I am hanging a couple of samples today at 90 degrees and trying to regulate the samples. Of course I increased the bore distance to do that. I'm not loving the regulation yet.
