Baldwin L- and Concert Grand

[Clark Sprague]

Thanks, Dale.  I already bought the Tokiwa set, and have used them with good results on a few other projects.  But I guess I will need to get a set of those damper squeezing pliers.  I think one of my area tech friends has a set I can  borrow for this gig.
    Now, what about the backchecks on the L?  Screw, or press?

      Hi Clark
  The Tokiwa sets are the weapon of choice.  They are beautiful & fit almost anything except maybe tri-chord bass strings on compressed Chickering Quarter grands & such where the tips of the tri-chord felts need to be super thin.  In this case a good pair of parallel jaw damper squeezing pliers will usually work.  I like to warm the jaws slightly first to iron the felt & compress itess it easily

    Dale
      I know Schaff sent me some strips to use on another grand that had tri-chord bass strings, something thinner, but Pianotek says that the Tokiwa works fine.  Some input, please.
