Help with Baldwin parts-Avery

[Porritt, David]

Vladan:

 

I remember the elegant Baldwin booth in the exhibitor's area at the 2002
convention in Dallas.  There was the PTG supplied sign, a card table and
two folding chairs with two guys.  They had no instruments, no
literature not even business cards.  It was really pretty sad!  The
impression I get (which could be inaccurate) is that Baldwin has died
but no one has conducted a funeral nor buried them.  I just did a search
on their web site and didn't find any Baldwin dealers.  Are there any?

It's all very sad;  Baldwin was the one company that managed to design a
few great instruments in the last 50 years.  Now, it looks like there is
not a single new Baldwin grand on display anywhere in Northern
California, one of the most affluent markets in the U.S.

I was just looking at the schedule of PTG classes in Rochester - not a
single speaker from Baldwin with anything technical to say.  I wonder if
there is anyone left at the factory at all.  I wish somebody competent
came along to to buy them from Gibson.

James,



It's a lost cause! Believe me.
