Baldwin termination bars

[fssturm@unm.edu]

Thanks so much, Del, Ron, Roger, et al. I'll pass on the various posts, and I think 
this will help a great deal in raising my colleague's confidence level in 
approaching the problem. And the likelihood of effecting a solution. 
  I'll pass along results when I hear, though, as I wrote earlier, it sounds like it will 
be several months before he actually tears into the piano.
