[pianotech] D H Baldwin Manufacturer

[Ken & Pat Gerler]

I should have added the serial number - 57548 which would make it around 1990 if in one of the Young Chang factories - Inchon.  It would make sense to me that companies would not have "parallel" serial numbering systems for separate named products in a factory. Samick was using 2 or 3 alpha characters in their serial numbering system at that time.  The PianoDisc system serial number (W05960050) makes the manufacture date prior to 1996.

  I'm pretty sure it is a Samick. I sold against them when I was selling Young Chang product.

  Hello all,

  I service a C-172 DH Baldwin 5' 8" Grand today (with a PianoDisc system installed). I looked all over to see where it was manufactured but I did not find any kind of marking. I suspect it was built by Young Chang for Baldwin??? Anyone know?

   

  Thanks,

  Ken Gerler
