That doesn't matter. After the Bank Ruptsey (?) they aren't responsiable =
for any past. The bank desolves all action from the past. That is why =
they waited till it was all over to buy it.

  Yes they bought the assets.....,but they are also using the Baldwin =
name.

  No opinion, just a comment.

    The word I got was that Gibson bought the assets of the old Baldwin =
Co. from the bankruptcy court and that they didn't actually buy the old =
company.  There's a difference between buying a building and some =
machines, and buying a company.  I'm not defending their actions, I just =
think that's the way they did it.

          I don't know, for the life of me, how Gibson can take over a =
company like Baldwin and not assume the responsibilities of the original =
company, but apparently they think that they can. I suppose the Courts =
will have to decide that one, but who wants to step up with half a =
million dollars to find out?

        Hey list:

        I recently was called to tune a 10 year old Baldwin console. =
Turns out that the pin block is totally separated from the frame (end to =
end and top to bottom). The frame posts are all loose at the top as =
well. The local Baldwin dealer checked with the factory (now owned by =
Gibson) to see if they would replace/repair this piano under the =
original warantee. Turns out that not only will they NOT honor this =
warantee but that the warantees on all the brand new Baldwins on his =
sales floor were null and void as well. Any thoughts?

        Thanks
