It would be a long day before any hole ever got dug. I say just the opposite of your observations, Terry, by the mere fact, I take care of 105 Baldwin/Hamilton studios (dbase info), some for as many as 23 years on an annual basis. Real workhorses, overall stability of tuning unquestioned as compared to other units of same size, a big, bold sound for the most part, and very seldom breaks down. Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, one of the best values ever made in the piano industry. Takes a beating and keeps on playing. I can only think of one that doesn't cooperate like I'd like, but it's no big deal. Cheers, Keith McGavern Registered Piano Technician Oklahoma Chapter 731 Piano Technicians Guild USA
