<BR>tuning of my day was a 6 ft. Schimmel and I personally
<BR>could not have asked for anything more from any
<BR>piano. Pure clean bass and treble, sounds great
<BR>at pp as well as ff, unisons--- not a false beat to
<BR>be found. Action was responsive, well voiced,
<BR>well regulated. Classic satin ebony finish ...
<BR>what a beauty. </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"></BLOCKQUOTE>

<BR>(can't remember the exact spelling) both are superb instruments built of
<BR>traditional materials. This is what I think Baldwin should try to do in
<BR>order to survive, not build more particle board consoles.

<BR>Baldwin stock continues to inch upwards but still has miles to go. As of
<BR>this moment, it stands at 2.90.
