THanx Jeff!
Wow!

I have seen the Baldwin electropianos- for I'm all into now "collecting" 
these type of retro weird things instead of acoustic pianos. I have 3 
different types now.
(It keeps the peace...sort of.)-and it also keeps the piano moving bill 
down.

:B

Where's you run into that Baldwin?

My dream is to find some hippie guy who fixes these rarities- and who knows 
all about them. (And has great stories from the gigs he had working on 
them!!)

:)
