Baldwin warranty / 743 question

[John Ross]

Hi Roger,
Thank you.
I am surprised about your statement, regarding the lack of keyweights in the
Baldwins of recent years.
It seems to fly in the face of logic.
We have about 1/2 dozen Baldwin Hamiltons, in our practise rooms.
We are upgrading gradually. Mostly Yamahas.
