Richard, Why bash Baldwin? In answer to your question, I have liked the concert grand (SF? I get model numbers confused); various of the grands, with adequate prep (which they weren't receiving at the factory in recent years); and the 6000. Bottom line: there are lots of good Baldwin designs in both recent and previous times (I like my personal M from the 50's quite a bit, for instance). There have been issues of inadequate quality control and inadequate prep. And bad decisions (buckskin substitutions, putting the "DH Baldwin" name on imports, the initial move to Arkansas without a good process for training factory staff, etc). But all in all, I have more positive than negative thoughts about Baldwin, for my own part.

I'm curious as to which models present and recent past are considered good instruments by our collective here. Anyone care to list up your top favorite 3 models ?
