I'm sooooooooo lucky! I've had a Baldwin dealer continuously in my area for
at least 45 years.
I've taken so many of this d#*&n things out & put 'em back I feel like I
invented them.
Having had my first Carpal Tunnel surgery a few years ago, I began carrying
a Black & Decker inline rechargable screwdriver with me, makes putting the
screws back in a whole lot easier.
In fact makes screw removal & replacement on all pianos a lot easier!
It's my third one the first 2 were the 1st generation with the fixed
batteries, when the batteries wouldn't charge anymore they were done for.
This one has removable battery, so I can leave one in the charger at home &
keep one in the screwdriver. It also has an auto locking collet so I can
use it manually to loosen the screw prior to backing it out or tighten it
after running it in.
