This 1936 Baldwin Model R grand piano in satin mahogany is a beautifully restored American instrument with both musical and visual appeal. Restored by RPI in the 1990s, it received a new soundboard, pinblock, strings, bridge caps, and hammers, while the action was carefully reconditioned with all new felts and leather. At some point following the restoration, the case was refinished in a rich red mahogany satin finish, giving the piano added warmth and distinction.
Lovingly cared for by its previous owner, this piano has been well maintained and continues to offer a beautiful, warm tone with the kind of richness and character that make these Baldwin grands so enjoyable to play. It is an elegant and inviting instrument that would make a lovely addition to any home or studio.
An artist bench is included. This piano has been reconditioned, which included:
- Passing inspection of the bridges, pinblock & soundboard
- Hammers Resurfacing
- Aligning Hammers to Strings
- Tightening Action Screws
- Leveling Keys
- Adjusting Key Dip
- Adjusting Let-off and Backchecks
- Cleaning the Strings
- Polishing Keytops
- Cleaning Both Inside & Out
- Adjusting the Pedals
- Polish Brass Hardware
- Tuning and Voicing
Included in the purchase of this instrument is a 2-year mechanical warranty and basic delivery.
The retail price of a new 5'5" Baldwin grand piano is $24,900.00. (Baldwin pianos are now made in Asia, and do not have a 5'6" model)
Baldwin Piano History
Dwight Hamilton Baldwin began to manufacture pianos in 1889 and his company grew to be the largest piano manufacturing company in the United States. The Baldwin piano has made a significant impact in the piano world, and has been a favorite of many composers and musicians.
The Baldwin piano was made in the USA until 2008, when production was moved to China. The company is now owned by the Gibson Guitar company, and continues to produce high quality instruments that will last a lifetime.
