David, <br><br>
My problem with Baldwin now is how they treated their dealers, techs they
owed money to, etc., etc. Anymore, <br>
I don't really give a "flying fig" how good their instruments
"might" be. Doubtful. I just no longer want to <br>
have ANYTHING to do with someone who treats people like they have!!!!!!!!
They can take their "stealth" pianos<br>
and stick them where the sun don't shine! (Hey, I'm being polite, here!)
:-) When they pay me the app. $2000.00<br>
they owe me, I "MIGHT" start looking at them again. If I could
actually find a dealer that's still handling <br>
them!!! <br><br>

You may have noticed the at the exhibition hall no one was going near the
Baldwin booth. Both Yamaha and Kawai booths were busy. This should be
good indication. I have tuned both P22 and UST-8A, both are good pianos.
The workmanship on the Baldwin is poor. Hope this helps to make the right
decision.<br>

<dd> Local school district is buying 10 new
verticals. The choices are: Yamaha P22, Baldwin 243E and
Kawai UST-8A.<br>
<dd> Pricing is comparable among all, any thoughts on
which might be the best for them?<br>
