Only with samples. The stuff is just too dense and unforgiving 
for my taste and methods, so I'd never put it in a piano of 
mine. I know people who use it successfully, but I'll pass.

I do save take-out Baldwin blocks for tooling and jig stock 
though. Like Falconwood, it's ideal for that, if not for use 
as pinblocks.

This is only an opinion, subject to individual validation, or not.

Sorry, that's not much help.
