Good question. Will PrattWin also be sold, or is this an independent
company? <br>

They already sold the buildings, Wim, and are now leasing way the heck
and gone on the southern edges of town. About one-tenth the old space,
with tons of old machinery in storage trailers. They haven't called it
Pratt Win in Juarez for a long time now, Wim. It's Baldwin. Nothing
separate about it, as far as I know, excluding funny little regs from the
Federales. So much for free trade. Closing the plant that supplied the
Juarez facility with mouldings was interesting, but I hear that there was
over a month worth of action inventory on hand...<br>
<br>
The building next to SAMA in Juarez has a new security guard.... a former
Baldwin guard. Oh well.<br>
<br>
I sold 'em for 12 years, I service a bunch of 'em, I really like a well
prepped SF-10 (would own one, and think that overall they're a good,
durable piano.<br>
<br>
So.... I'd say reserve the speculation for now, and later we can start
thinking up names like:<br>
<br>
Samwin<br>
Baldaha<br>
Mason and Messin'<br>
<br>
<br>
you get the idea<br>
