<HTML>List, The latest news from Baldwin.  I don't know if this will help those who still are owed money for warranty work or not.  It looks like they may still have to wait but if the company remains in business, all claims should eventually be paid. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin Baldwin Piano & Organ Company Secures Surety Bond   Bond backs warranties reassuring dealers and consumers   MASON, Ohio, June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Baldwin Piano & Organ Company today announced that it has purchased a warranty surety bond through ACSTAR Insurance Company of New Britain, Connecticut.  ACSTAR's financial rating by A.M. Best is a strong ("A-").  Baldwin's warranty assurance plan backed by the surety bond will apply to Company's products purchased on or after June 1, 2001. Baldwin purchased the surety bond as a means to reassure its dealers and customers of its future and its ability to comply with its warranty obligations during the Company's reorganization.  The Company filed reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on May 30, 2001. "The security of a surety bond demonstrates to our dealers and customers our commitment to provide the best manufactured pianos in the world along with all the assurances associated with our products," said Robert Jones, chief executive officer and president. "Baldwin Piano & Organ is known for its quality products.  We want to make sure we are able to stand behind our products as we go through the restructuring, retaining the confidence of all our constituents." A Warranty Assurance Certificate is to be delivered by the dealer to each Baldwin buyer, at the time of purchase, of a Baldwin, Chickering or Wurlitzer piano on or after June 1, 2001.  The warranty assurance program will be prominently displayed on dealer's floor advertisements, special tags being attached to each piano and certificates placed on the top of each instrument. </HTML>
