<BR>Aren't Baldwin parts being made by Renner? Besides, we haven't been able to
<BR>get parts from Baldwin for over a year any way. But I don't think the demise
<BR>of the company will put us out of business. Look at all the piano compnaies
<BR>are that out of business, (Kohler & Campbell, Gulbransen, even Kranich &
<BR>Bach, to name a few), that we are still repairing, using parts available at
<BR>the supply houses.
