[CAUT] Baldwin Accujust

[Greg Newell]

Interesting that during the video it was mentioned that you never have to
rebuild a Baldwin due to lack of downbearing. I wonder, is the idea to just
keep adding more downbearing via the strings  even though the crown of the
board may become negative in the process over the years? I don't think that
I would ever do it that way. My 2 cents.

Our chapter member Al Guecia, who worked as a voicer at the Steinway factory
for many years, gave a technical on the Baldwin Accujust hitchpin.  We taped
his presentation and put it on YouTube.  He details Baldwin plate height
adjustment, and hitch pin adjustment.  You might find it helpful:
