<BR>MASON, Ohio, July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Baldwin Piano & Organ Company (OTC
<BR>Bulletin Board: BPAO) today announced the resignation of Joe Head and William
<BR>Connell from the Company's board of directors. In a resignation letter, both
<BR>directors expressed their support for the measures undertaken by Robert
<BR>Jones, CEO and President of Baldwin, and their desire to step down after many
<BR>years of service. Connell has served on the board since 1995 and Head has
<BR>been a board member since 1983. No replacement directors were appointed.
<BR>
<BR>Kenneth Pavia, chairman of the board of directors, stated that the reduction
<BR>in the board would allow further flexibility in addressing the challenges
<BR>confronting the Company. "Baldwin continues to address certain legacy issues
<BR>as part of the Company's overall restructuring efforts, and the board, as
<BR>presently configured, stands ready to actively counsel management and aid
<BR>during this transitional period. The reduction in the board mirrors the
<BR>temporary downsizing efforts of the Company and will be adjusted as
<BR>appropriate."
