I have a church client with a 1935 Baldwin L. Someone, between my service visits to the piano, broke the bass side music desk slide, the piece that is screwed to the inside of the rim, and the larger broken piece was lost. Only a thin sliver remains.

After several calls and emails to the Baldwin service contact listed in my PTG directory, asking if this case part is available, I still have had no reply. Does anyone know how I can contact the service and parts department at Baldwin? This is my last try before I have to make the part myself.
Thanks,

There are techs here who can fix that by regulating the action wink

Seriously, you will not be able to get that part from Baldwin. Go ahead and make it yourself.

Hey. Don't say this kind of stuff when I'm drinking my tea, without warning me first! *Goes to get paper towel to wipe my screen* grin

There are other techs here who will tell you that the entire piano needs to be redesigned with space-age parts so the music desk will fit better than ever.

A hint. Molded parts like that were made in back-to-back pairs and then cut apart. This is guarantees a good match and is much safer when you use a router.
