Baldwin verticals have a strong 5 post backframe, wet-sand cast plates, complete with Baldwin full blow action, and are now using Accu-just hitchpins ~ a way to accurately apply downbearing to the bridge from the string hitch. The grands feature all-maple inner and outer rims, wet sand cast plates as well as solid Sitka spruce soundboards, Abel hammers, duplex scaling, and real ebony sharp keys.

TD: The new BP (Baldwin Professional) Series Grands are done with the same “level” of materials that we traditionally used in Baldwin Artist Grands. GB: What are some of the features that are unique to Baldwin that are implemented into current designs? The new Baldwin Professional Series Grands have cabinets that were modeled after the most recent version of Baldwin Artist Grands (M1, R1, L1) that received that cosmetic makeover in the year 2000. The Hamilton studio piano (B243) is the latest version of our institutional vertical, and the model B252 is the updated version of the Concert Vertical (Model 6000). Tom Dorn: These furniture models (B342 & B442) are updated versions of the old Acrosonic pianos and have identical cabinets. Glen Barkman: Tom, they look identical to pianos I used to sell. Baldwin, in my opinion has always captured the essence of American décor. As I approached the Baldwin booth, I couldn’t believe how the cabinets were identical looking on some of the models from decades ago. But I was equally curious to know what elements have stayed the same. At the NAMM trade show this year, I caught up with Tom Dorn (pictured on the right) as I was curious how Baldwin has changed over the last few years knowing that they had been sold to Gibson Guitar Corporation in 2001 and in 2008, moved manufacturing to China. They have been around since 1862 and were at one point the largest piano manufacturer in North America. In fact, my first job involving pianos was in the local Baldwin dealership. If you live in North America, you’ll surely be aware that Baldwin is a household name.
