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 Ahem, I'd have to agree with Keith here, Terry. There are a lot of them out there. It is a very common choice for a school piano and many other situations. I've been going nightly and will be again in a few minutes to rehearsals for Man of La Mancha. If I had the attitude you do about the piano we are using, I wouldn't be able to do either my job as a piano technician nor as a singer and actor. The last thing I would ever call our rehearsal hall piano is a "PSO". It is a Baldwin Hamilton Studio piano. It has great tone and a beautifully designed soundboard. Does it require actual work froloathfulm time to time to keep it being a musical instrument and not an object for loathsome disdain? Yes, but again, that's what I am in business to do.
