"PSO" ... working on the acronym here ... are the letters perhaps in the
wrong order? Or does it stand for "posterior-specific ordnance"?

Terry, List, 

I'm glad I don't have to use your spade. It would be a long day
before any hole ever got dug.

I say just the opposite of your observations, Terry, by the mere
fact, I take care of 105 Baldwin/Hamilton studios (dbase info), some
for as many as 23 years on an annual basis.

Real workhorses, overall stability of tuning unquestioned as compared
to other units of same size, a big, bold sound for the most part, and
very seldom breaks down.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, one of the best values ever made
in the piano industry. Takes a beating and keeps on playing.

I can only think of one that doesn't cooperate like I'd like, but
it's no big deal. 

Cheers, 

Keith McGavern 

Ahem, I'd have to agree with Keith here, Terry.  There are a lot of them out
there.  It is a very common choice for a school piano and many other
situations.  I've been going nightly and will be again in a few minutes to
rehearsals for Man of La Mancha.  If I had the attitude you do about the
piano we are using, I wouldn't be able to do either my job as a piano
technician nor as a singer and actor.

The last thing I would ever call our rehearsal hall piano is a "PSO".  It is
a Baldwin Hamilton Studio piano.  It has great tone and a beautifully
designed soundboard.  Does it require actual work froloathfulm time to time
to keep it being a musical instrument and not an object for loathsome
disdain?  Yes, but again, that's what I am in business to do.
