Gorgeous xxxx Baldwin Grand Piano Model "C" (6'3"). This beautifully handcrafted instrument is a work of art from the golden era of American piano manufacturing, and is a time honored example of one of Baldwin's top of the line grand pianos. To find an instrument of this age in this condition is rare indeed. There simply aren't many of these left on the market, especially one that has been well maintained and cared for in it's smoke free, climate controlled home for the last 40+ years. It has sat unused for the last several decades as our children grew and eventually moved away. The time has come to pass on this marvelous instrument. The piano has been rebuilt, the interior gutted and the pin block replaced. The regulation has been restored to perfect working order and has been restrung with new strings, the felt replaced, hammers shaved and "voiced" for optimal sound. After the rebuild, the piano has been tuned several times, every four weeks, as is necessary to bring it up to pitch while it relaxes into it's new strings. The cabinet was strong and in good condition so we had it refurbished, restoring it to it's original beautiful hand-rubbed satin ebony, with gleaming brass hardware. It has a 2 piece boston fallboard, true to the style of the time and the keys are in excellent condition. A very fine instrument with its' whole (new) life ahead of it. There is a matching bench that accompanies the piano, eagerly awaiting it's new maestro. 
Baldwin's Model "C" is very powerful for its size and is known for it's "huge sound." This piano has an enchanting tone with a big, beautiful, rich feel; yet it can whisper a love song that will make you cry. It now seeks a new home, and a passionate musician to unleash it's robust, unbridled potential. Ideal for a seasoned professional, or the perfect starter piano for that budding young virtuoso in your life.
