Baldwin C 1897 - Mahogany Satin #7595

FINAL COLLECTION:

1897 Baldwin Restored Grand Piano This extraordinary 1897 Baldwin represents the artistry and ambition of Baldwin’s earliest years of grand-piano production. Measuring 6'3", this instrument utilizes Baldwin’s historic C scale—the predecessor to the later Model L—and offers the depth, warmth, and tonal presence associated with a full-sized parlor grand.
The magnificent cabinet is crafted in richly figured mahogany and features finely crafted woodworking. Its beautifully sculpted details and warm, lustrous finish make this piano as much a piece of fine furniture as it is a musical instrument.
The piano was extensively restored in the past, including: Regilded cast-iron plate New strings New damper felts New key bushings New front-rail bushings We have installed new hammers that provide renewed tonal life, complementing the piano’s earlier restoration and bringing its musical performance to a level that compliments its extraordinary appearance. The 6'3" scale offers a broad tonal palette, with a resonant bass, a rich and singing middle register, and a clear, expressive treble.
This is a rare opportunity to own an important early Baldwin grand with exceptional visual character, substantial musical capabilities, and over a century of American piano history. It would be an ideal centerpiece for an elegant home, historic property, music room, or serious pianist seeking an instrument unlike anything being produced today.
