Willem,
K&C, G, and K&B didn't have the potential for making a world class piano that
Baldwin always had, and has fought so relentlessly against all these years. If
their reputation and finances aren't already in the can beyond all home of
redemption, competent management and accountability to the engineering could
keep them in play. They could make a terrific product - if they only would.
There's the pity.
