[CAUT] Baldwin Accujust

[Greg Newell]

Benjamin,
	Did you miss the part where I said "during the video"? Did you watch
the video? Do you think it possible or even practical to try and adjust
downbearing between rebuilds with any other piano? Sheesh!

   You do mean a Baldwin with the accujust hitchpin, specifically?

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:
