clicking baldwin

[Roger Jolly]

Hi Wim,
               The front rail felt punchings on this vintage are quite
spongy, on a forte blow it's a good chance that the front of the key is
just 'tickiing' on the keyslip. If so install a set screw into the action
frame to bow out the keyslip a little.
Some of the butt sping coils can also exhibit this symptom, if so, take a
long pair of tweezers and move the butt spring coil a little.
Let us know how you make out.
Regards Roger
