size=3>Joe, you may be watching all the "recommendations" regarding =
this piano,
=<BR>but you are not reading the original post! The original post said =
=<BR>nothing about strings breaking."<BR><BR>I need help identifying =
the model
of a Baldwin grand, serial #26263=20<BR>(built in 1915). It measures =
6' 1 3/4"
from back of rim to front of=20<BR>keybed. There are 20 bass notes, =
with 3 wound
unisons at the bottom of=20<BR>the tenor section. Total number of =
wound string
is 42. This piano is=20<BR>not a reproducer. Someone at Baldwin =
customer service
suggested it=20<BR>might be a model "K". Does anyone know of other =
options? Is
there a=20<BR>specific way to confirm the model ? The piano was =
apparently
rescaled=20<BR>and restrung about 20 years ago and it gave good =
service until
the=20<BR>choir using it got a new accompanist. I need to be able to =
order a
new=20<BR>set of original design bass strings. I would appreciate any =
help
with=20<BR>this issue. Thanks.<BR><BR> Paul =

size=3>You are
absolutely correct! I misread it! OOPS!</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" =
size=3>However, NOW
I'm wondering why he would want to take a giant step backwards and put =
the
original strings on the piano???!! If the "rescale" was even =
remotely
correct, then he would possibly have a lopsided sound/harmonic balance, =
due to
the "rescale". It appears to me that I need more information on this =
one, to
really see where/what is the end goal.....?

me as a bit odd.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
