<HTML><BODY> <div> Hi all,</div> <div> </div> <div>I don't service all that many Baldwin grands, but yesterday I had the opportunity to pitch raise, tune and do a few little repairs on a neglected 18 year old or so Baldwin M.  Not a bad little pianner.  </div> <div> </div> <div>I had the action out to remove a few foreign objects that were causing keys and dampers to malfunction, when I noticed that there was a pretty bad keyframe knock.  Despite the fact that the cheek blocks have downbearing on the keyframe end-pins, the knock did not entirely go away when I tightened the cheek block bolts.  I wanted to bed the keyframe, but found that there is no access without removing the end keys.  Then I thought, "these glides may be fixed?"</div> <div> </div> <div>I didn't have time to deal with it yesterday, but will go back in the near future, armed with any tips I might get here from those of you with more experience with these pianos.  Baldwins always seem to have some quirk or other, don't they?  </div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks in advance,</div> <div> </div> <div style="CLEAR: both">Dave Stahl<br> <br> Dave Stahl Piano Service<br> 650-224-3560<br> dstahlpiano@sbcglobal.net<br> http://dstahlpiano.net/<br> <br> <br> <br> </div> <div class="AOLPromoFooter"> <hr style="margin-top:10px;" /> <a href="http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/1615326657x4311227241x4298082137/aol?redir=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaol%2Ecom%2Fnewaol" target="_blank"><b>Check out the new AOL</b></a>.
