I've worked on a number of Baldwins in the past, most of the vertical hitch pin variety. I wouldn't blame the hitch pin for the tuning instability. That is a difference in those pianos that is easy to see, but there are other problems somewhat less obvious. dp David M.

I have two customers with baldwins that have accu-just hitch pins. The shared strings apparently do slip around those a lot easier than I'd prefer. I just got called back to one I did a large pitch-raise ( 60+ ) to about a year ago. I had called for a follow-up in 2-3 months. The unisons weren't rock solid, it was about 5 cents flat. I'm used to coming back to better unisons but this and the other baldwin with those derned hitch pins defy me. Perhaps the third tuning after a large pitch correction will be the charmed one on these. I was just wondering if I was missing anything.
