Howard pianos?

[Porritt, David]

You answered your own question.  :-)  It was made by Kawai for Baldwin.
There were two short models though I don't remember the exact sizes.
The smaller one was SMALL!  I remember some of these from the early 70s
but I don't think it was an arrangement of long standing.

Hi,

Can anyone share knowledge or experience with Howard pianos? I  
haven't heard of them. Someone I know is interested in purchasing a  
5'9" one for about $6500, and it's from the 60s. He was told it was  
made by Kawai for Baldwin. It also has a crack in the soundboard its  
entire length with an epoxy repair, but I'm not sure when this was  
performed.

Thanks.
