The owners were told it was a Howard grand made by Baldwin. It = has been rebuilt and the Howard name is not on it anymore. It has = tuning pin bushings, no markings on the plate as to the manufacturer, a = fall board that folds back on itself and then folds back under. It has = no support beams and is about 5' 5" but I didn't measure it, that's just = an estimate. Could this be a Howard? Are there other things to look = for to help identify it? I had my doubts because I know that Baldwin does not have tuning pin = bushings (at least not in models that I'm aware of). Also, I know of no = models of Baldwins that do not have support beams. =20 What do you think? =20 Al F. -------------------------------------------------------------------------= ----- Do you Yahoo!?
