Chickering hinge

[Roger Jolly]

Greetings Greg,
                Heck I feel like a walking Bill Board for Baldwin today.
Samick manufactured the D.H.Baldwin. Which has become the Wurlitzer line,
the 5'8" model was reverse engineered from the R scale.
  The Baldwin Company is going through some very positive changes. Only The
Artist Series Pianos will bear the Baldwin name, and is under going many up
grades at present. A firm company decision has been made that ONLY top line
American built products will bear the BALDWIN name on the key board cover.
Due to marketing considerations, Chickering will be the mid price/quality
range of product. And Wurlitzer will be the product that will appeal to the
more price conscious buyer.   
Hope this helps to clarify.
Regards Roger.
