Pianotech: First off, thanks to those who responded to my Weber fallboard query. I'll take these things and ponder them in my heart, probably chatting with several of you at Dearborn, before I return to the customer's just before school starts again. I have the great good fortune to care for 2 SD-6 Baldwins - 1 ea. at two colleges. They definitely are not identical. The older (1962) has a 37" lid prop, while the other (1964) and the SD10s I work on have 31". None of them seem to need any more lids, top or bottom, to be heard. Being short armed and altitude challenged, that long stick sure makes me stretch. Was the long stick the normal then or was it a special? The older one also has the Renner action with easily removable let-off dowel mounting strips. I definitely like that feature!! Didn't have to fight the dowels to set the jack in the window. Made the regulation faster. -- Conrad Hoffsommer, RPT | hoffsoco@martin.luther.edu Luther College | (319)-387-1204 700 College Drive | Decorah, Iowa 52101-1045 | Chi si ferma e` perduto.
