Baldwin L, Kawai, Yamaha

[gnuboi]

So the budget is around $15k plus or minus a few thousand...

I'm currently drawn to a new Kawai RX3, Yamaha C3, or a 1989 Baldwin L 6'3" (I think this was made in Arkansas still?) with new strings.  The prices for the new RX3 and C3 might be a bit higher.  The Baldwin L I can probably get for less.

I really like the sound of the Baldwin, but I want to keep this next piano for a long time and I don't want an older Baldwin giving me issues that a newer Kawai or Yamaha would not.

What do you guys think?  I'm also interested on how you like the sound of each of the above.  Thank you!

Thanks.  I did just that, bought it Sunday to be delivered Friday.  In the end, I evaluated the three brands by sound, and I really liked the Kawai over the others.  I can't wait
