The system or chain of scientific improvements particular to the Baldwin piano, based on the law of acoustics known as the Baldwin acoustic system, which permitted the greatest conservation of tone; secures an artistic result of the highest quality, giving it a leading position among the world's artistic musical instruments. The Baldwin piano has an individuality of the highest character. When it was exhibited at the International Exposition at Paris in 1900, it was honored with an award (The Grand Prix) which has never been bestowed on any, other American piano, and the highest honor ever received by any, piano made in America. The Baldwin pianos are made in most modem and perfectly equipped factories under ideal manufacturing conditions. At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, St. Louis, Mo., 1904, the Baldwin piano was again awarded the Grand Prize and still another Grand Prize was awarded the Baldwin pianos and Manualos at the Anglo-American Exposition, London, 1914. The "New York Tribune," in commenting on the comprehensive display of the Baldwin Company at Paris, and the success of this piano, said that they made a record that would never be forgotten in the history of uprights, grands and reproducing pianos; the grands including the various sizes from concert grands to small grand’s for parlors. At Rome, in 1923, the Baldwin piano was awarded the Papal Medal and the House of Baldwin appointed "Purveyors to the Holy See."  The Baldwin piano is recognized as a universal favorite between the leading operatic artists and virtuosos of the pianoforte. The Baldwin is a unification of the most artistic piano with the most scientific players' construction; in other words, it combines the highest artistic attainment in piano production with the most gratifying ability of performance. The entire output is controlled by The Baldwin Piano Company. The Baldwin Grand Piano, designed, built and guaranteed by the Baldwin Company, Loveland, Ohio, is used exclusively by the first rank of artists in all spheres of musical expression - pianists, composers, conductors, singers, instrumentalists - as well as the outstanding symphony orchestras around the world and in music festivals everywhere. Without reservation, from the nine-foot concert grand to the five feet, two inch grand, every Baldwin embodies the latest concepts of acoustical science and piano making; it is a precision engineered musical instrument of the highest degree of excellence.  ANY BALDWIN- MADE PIANO IS WORTH THE TIME, MONEY AND ENERGY TO REBUILD OR REFURBISH.  (The above description was paraphrased from the Bluebook of Pianos/Bluebookofpianos.com/Baldwin.htm) This Glorious Instrument, built in 1909, has been fully restored (New Sound-board/Pin-block, Hammer felts, Whippens, Refinished Case & Harp /ETC.)
