Nasty Baldwin treble

[David Love]

I recently encountered a Baldwin with similar design and problems.  I
addressed the problem by filing the hammers to a precise shape, gently
massaging the strings up from the underside, followed by careful string
fitting and voicing (in this case the hammers required some shoulder
needling to open the tone and give a bit more resilience).  It took care of
the problem very nicely.

Yes, but at least the noises are more noticeable to
the pianist than the audience ( which is usually the
case ). Still, I told the music minkster I'd try to
remedy it, so all suggestions are gratefully
requested.
