Boy, Imagine Baldwin (Pratt-Win) supplying entire actions for Kimball
pianos. Hard to believe, huh? Geez, I wonder of Pratt-Win has been
supplying upright actions to any OTHER well-known US manufacturers? And
what if they mixed up the actions destined for Kimball and those destined
for that other manufacturer and nobody even noticed the difference? Just
idle questions on a rainy Tuesday afternoon!

Party On, Dudes (and Dudettes)!
