Is it a good piano? cant find much info on line about it. we are also looking at a new pearl river for $2400 model UP 110. First piano buying experience is very nerve racking lol, any info is appreciated.

I played an Acrosonic with a loose leg for many years with no problems. Just had to be careful when moving it. Dennis flickr

I've purchased lots of things in the past that were damaged or needed repair for a reduced price; I fixed/repaired them and kept them and enjoyed them a while and then sold them, usually for at least what I had in them (or, I still have them). Guess I just love to fix and repair things... (pianos included). If you like the tone and touch of the Baldwin, I'd certainly consider it. It probably wouldn't cost that much to have a pro to fix the broken leg, if you didn't want to do it yourself. Good luck, and keep us informed!
