Les- Larry Fine's book "The Piano Book" has a good write up on Walter pianos and company. I used it to consult with a customer on a pre-purchase inspection. It is favorable, of course. It's on page 102 in the second edition. Good luck on your presentation.

A Baldwin upright, about 1926. Inside, it looked marvelous. However it looked to me that in each of the tuning pin holes was an aluminum sleeve, as if someone had repinned the thing, putting sleeves in all holes.. Pins were holding, though they certainly were "slippery" Did Baldwin ever start out with sleeves in pin holes? I was called by a local piano teacher today and asked if I'd come to his little teacher's association and talk about the Walter Pianos in JUST ONE WEEK>.............. Can any of you help with information that I might NOT get directly from the company, with whom I'm in contact? I'd be appreciatiave. les bartlett houston. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!
