Earning the title of being “America’s Favourite Piano” is quite an accomplishment and, in this case, one that is justified given Baldwin’s impressive quality control, craftsmanship, and longevity.
Despite the company growing to become the largest piano manufacturer in the United States at one point, Baldwin’s high-quality standards never declined.
Launched in 1939, Baldwin’s 243 upright model is the company’s most successful and highest-selling piano of all time.
An efficient action, balanced voice, and durable design allow the model to offer perfect performance after perfect performance year after year.
Baldwin sold over 500,000 units of the 243 model worldwide and there is a very good reason for that. It has long been favoured for institutional use by music schools and institutions of all types.
The piano’s hard rock maple construction makes it one of the most rugged and durable instruments of all time. From music studios to churches, Baldwin’s 243 is built to handle any setting.
This Baldwin 243 Upright Piano features a classic satin ebony finish. It has long strings for its 47” cabinet and 100% virgin wool hammers, which combine to offer a pure and balanced tone that rivals much taller upright piano models.
A solid spruce soundboard, ribs, and back frame as well as a solid two-ply hard rock maple and beech bridge round out this model’s impressive list of specs. The 243 features Baldwin’s celebrated Full Blow Direct Action, which offers a precise touch and responsiveness that allows players to access all new heights of expressivity.
Given its tag price, this Baldwin 243 offers incredible value for music schools, churches, or individuals that are seeking a reliable instrument that can offer a wonderful musical experience for many years to come.
