Baldwin Grand and Upright Pianos
Why we love to restore Baldwin grand and upright pianos
Vintage Baldwin pianos were built exceptionally well. We enjoy bringing these older Baldwins back to life because the end result can be outstanding. This is in large part due to the high quality of the original piano build and also because replacement parts are available.
History of Baldwin
Baldwin was established in 1862 by Dwight Hamilton Baldwin. When it was exhibited at the International Exposition at Paris in 1900 it was honored with an award (The Grand Prix) which has never been bestowed on any, other American piano, and the highest honor ever received by any, piano made in America. Baldwin has been in the business for 150 years and has become the piano of choice for the world’s hottest artists, including Aaron Copeland, Liberace, Dave Brubeck, Marian McPartland, Ben Folds and Miley Cyrus.
