Used Baldwin 243 Upright Piano in Satin Oak

From concert halls and recording studios to music schools and homes, Baldwin pianos can be found in virtually every musical setting. This has led to the justly-deserved nickname “America’s Favourite Piano.” Baldwin’s tradition of manufacturing high-quality pianos that are built to endure the test of time began in 1891 when D.H. Baldwin launched his first upright piano. Since then, the company’s name has become synonymous with the word piano.

The Baldwin 243 model was first launched in 1939. It was an instant hit and quickly grew to become Baldwin’s highest-selling piano ever. In fact, Baldwin eventually sold over 500,000 model 243s worldwide. This is certainly not by fluke. The 243 possesses one of the most efficient and precise actions one can find on a studio upright, which is combined with a clear, balanced tone and rock-solid tuning. This instrument was specifically designed and produced to handle the rigorous use of institutional playing.

Like all Baldwin 243s, this particular specimen is extremely well-built and features a sturdy hard rock maple construction. It has a gorgeous oak finish and stands at 47” tall. It has extended bass strings, 100% virgin wool hammers, a solid spruce soundboard, and Baldwin’s Full Blow Direct Action. The tone and touch of this 243 is exceptional and even the most discerning players will be blown away with the instrument’s response to every nuance and expressive detail of their playing.

This Baldwin 243 still has plenty of musical life left in it. It would be the perfect instrument for music schools, churches, or individuals looking for a reliable piano that can endure even the most demanding musical environments.
