I believe they suspended manufacturing in Truman more than a year ago, so the "temporary" suspension may not signify anything but PR blah blah. I believe they have continued importing pianos they make in China. My business name is Encore Pianos, and I used to be a Baldwin dealer, but I'm feeling MUCH better now..
