Terry, List,

I'm glad I don't have to use your spade. It would be a long day 
before any hole ever got dug.

I say just the opposite of your observations, Terry, by the mere 
fact, I take care of 105 Baldwin/Hamilton studios (dbase info), some 
for as many as 23 years on an annual basis.

Real workhorses, overall stability of tuning unquestioned as compared 
to other units of same size, a big, bold sound for the most part, and 
very seldom breaks down.

Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, one of the best values ever made 
in the piano industry. Takes a beating and keeps on playing.

I can only think of one that doesn't cooperate like I'd like, but 
it's no big deal.
