Baldwin Concert Grand

[Jim Johnson]

It has been my experience that pianos with deep grooves in the hammers break more treble strings than pianos with properly shaped hammers.  Could this be part of the problem?

  In 27 years in this wonderful business, I've seen only ONE Baldwin concert grand in a private home, and I happened to work on the guy's piano today. (I've always noticed the big "BALDWIN" decal on the fallboard, which really sticks out like a sore thumb, as opposed to the more moderate Steinway decals. I guess the company wants to advertise while the artists are performing on stage, especially in front of the TV camera.) The piano is from the 1960's and it's a good instrument, though nothing like the Steinway D. The young pianist is breaking the extreme high treble strings one after another. Could it be too much bearing at the capo bar?
