Hi All, The synthetic materials ( corfam ) was not used on Baldwin grand knuckles to my knowlege. D.H. Baldwins a different story. These instruments were manufactured by Samick, The inherent problems with these pianos is well known, rub a generous quantity of powdered teflon into the material to get rid of the sqeaks and groans. If a clunky noise is the problem, don't waste your time trying to find a solution, just replace the knuckles with a higher quality product. Best regards to all.
