<BR> The Bad News
<BR> It is always with regret that I recieve news of yet another pianoe related business failure that effects so many of us.
<BR> In a letter I recieved from North Hudson Wood craft today they stated that itwas with regret they are closing down that division. No doubt Baldwins problems forced them into this position even though I hear that Gibson has purchased them and intend to start them up again.

<BR> The good news
<BR> Rick wheeler at Roseland is now up and running his soundboard replacement service. I am currently awaiting an order for a doz. boards from Rick.
<BR> High quality sitks,tongue and groove.
<BR> Best--Dale Erwin
