Paul, Baldwin is indeed building the Chickering grands. The model 410 is essentially the same as the former Baldwin Classic B and the Chickering 507 is the same as the former Baldwin Classic C. Both models are built in the Trumann, AR plant. The current production Wurlitzer grands (C143, C153, etc.) are built for Baldwin y Samick and are the same as the DH Baldwin (C142, C152, etc.) and the Howard (C141, C151, etc.). Wurlitzer grands that were built for both Wurlitzer and Baldwin have a "Gxxx" model number. Such as G411, G152, G157, etc. Current production Wurlitzer verticals in the 1100 and 2200 series are also built in Trumann, AR and are based on the old Wurlitzer vertical scales. Te Wurlitzer WP50 is built in China for Baldwin. Hope this helps at least a little with the confusion. Allan Allan L.
