Yes, the Chickering made in the Baldwin plant had accu-just pins.  One =
of my clients has one.  I had to do extensive regulation on the action =
to make it play properly and it was during the time of bankruptsy and I =
never got paid for the job even though it was OK'd in advance by =
Baldwin.

      Yesterday I serviced a 5' 1" Chickering, Serial #841695. The =
number doesn't even come close to anything in my Pierce Atlas. The owner =
purchased the piano used in 1998. It looks to me to be Asian built.=20



      During its short life, it has managed to get tubby bass strings =
(picture an old upright with iron windings...) and corrosion on the =
plain strings. The customer would like to have it restrung. I'd like to =
know some history before providing the estimate.



      Any ideas?
