What's Steinway producing in the US? Ds, Bs, As, etc. Their big sellers, Boston, is produced offshore by who knows what oriental piano manufacturer...Kawai at the moment; Young Chang in their future?

Only the SD10 and a few others are going to be produced in the U.S. Oh well, that's what the boys from Nashville will do for ya! Who could not see it coming? Hell! I'm blind and I saw it... ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob & Helen Goodale <mailto:rrg at unlv.nevada.edu> To: Pianotech List <mailto:pianotech at ptg.org> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 5:04 PM Subject: Re: Baldwin News Read between the lines, sounds like Baldwin is getting ready to fall on their faces yet again. I doubt they are making enough money to keep the heat on right now, let alone capable of making anything "world class". I've been to Trumann and believe me it's a Jeff Foxworthy redneck paradise. Single wide trailers, rusty dead cars in the yard, couches for lawn furniture, and clothes lines across the front porch. Fried cat fish and hushpuppies, sweet tea, and I'm sure somewhere there must be a Piggly Wiggly. Trust me, no $150K artisan gem will ever come out of Trumann. My apologies to any proud redneck techs that may be on the list. Rob Goodale, RPT -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
