I have a new client with a 1990 Baldwin SF. After tuning I pulled the action to deal with a couple of "sticky keys". I was very surprised to see a lot of growth on the hammer shafts (mostly in the center of the piano). To a much lesser degree it is on the wippens also. I have never seen this before and wondered what it is and how to treat it. It looks like white crystals growing. This is a link to a couple of pictures to help identify this mess. http://members.cox.net/bcasper/baldwin.htm Bob Casper Associate OC Chapter -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
