What Baldwin has done is arrange to have several marques (Chickering,
Wurlitzer, D. H. Baldwin, etc.) manufactured in Asia by Samick.

_In my personal opinion only_ (flamesuit not being worn) the D. H.
Baldwin is of less than stellar construction and general quality.
If you're looking to purchase new, I think there are better choices
available.
