---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Terry: We see alot of Baldwins here in Cincinnati, as you might guess. Depending on the age, your options may be limited. If you have one of the older ones with the steel action rails, send samples to Wally Brooks and have him match them up with Tokiwa parts. That's what I did on the last set, and it worked out great. This is the least painful way to go, trust me. Neither the current Baldwin parts nor the Renner parts fit. Previously, I just opted on rebuilding the old ones. If yours is newer, with wood rails, then you don't have such problems, and you might be able to use current Baldwin parts. For what it's worth, I have the oldest Baldwin grand I have seen in the shop right now. It is 6'3", and was probably made in 1897 or so. What tipped me off at first was that the plate has a sort of floral pattern rather than the familiar holes. The shift lever is made of wood. The trapwork is the sort that has long pieces of wood with thinned areas to act as a spring. 23 bass notes, 8 single and 15 bichords. It's interesting.
