Nonsense. I'm the one who started this whole thing. I'm the tech at
Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory in Ohio. Two teachers came to me separately
and said they'd seen on CNN that Baldwin had laid off all its factory
workers. They wanted to know what I knew, which was nothing. They were
each quite sure it was Baldwin. I was quite shocked and called a store
here and was told (by a salesman) that it was true. I had just ordered
parts from Baldwin and knew they were still in business. I called a
dealer I trusted, and he said he hadn't heard it. So I was confused, and
started asking more people, including my friend Greg, who posted it
here.
Sorry to have caused a small storm. It started innocently! Mark Graham
