You do mean a Baldwin with the accujust hitchpin, specifically? -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Greg Newell Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 8:44 AM To: caut at ptg.org Subject: Re: [CAUT] Baldwin Accujust 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.
