<BR>Wow, Rob. Thanks for posting this. All I really had was a gut feeling.
<BR>It's just that those model B and C were so consistently problematic and
<BR>obviously so cheaply and sloppily built. When there are still so many
<BR>choices of relatively good, solid pianos available, who would buy a Baldwin?
<BR>
<BR>A local person here said recently, "When Liberace died, so did the interest
<BR>in Baldwin pianos".
<BR>
<BR>I sure do hope that someone does do the right things and make the right
<BR>choices to save the company. There is a market for good quality pianos,
<BR>expensive pianos. There is no market for cheap, new junk.

<BR>HEY BALDWIN!!! LISTEN TO DEL, HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT!!!
