[pianotech] 1990 Baldwin Spinet Model

[Terry Farrell]

Oh, that's probably what I'll have to do - I was hoping that there's  
only one model like the one I sparsely describe. Unfortunately, the  
place this piano is located is actually a bit beyond my normal service  
area and I don't get out that way often - that's why I was trying the  
end-around play. Your way is the safe way, no doubt.
