Baldwin
Baldwin pianos, known as "America's Favorite Piano", have been handcrafted in the USA since 1862. As a testament to quality and craftsmanship, Baldwin pianos feature one of the longest and best warranties in the industry.
Baldwin is America's largest piano builder, and sells more pianos in the United States than any other manufacturer.
The Baldwin Difference
"Consider that a grand piano may be nine feet long," Bob Sowell, a member of the Baldwin team for 38 years, and currently the company's Operations Manager, says.
"That entire piano is built to within 1/32" or 1/16" specifications. Everything is done by hand-- that's true of the verticals as well-- and each grand piano has a book associated with it. Every operator who touches the piano signs that book. The idea is to ensure accountability, and to instill pride. That record is kept for posterity."
Tracy McDaniel, who serves as Production Manager adds: "Everything is hand-crafted. Very few machines are involved. It's all done by the operator. Most of the employees undergo a six- to eight-week training period. It's all about attention to detail. We teach that quality comes before numbers of instruments produced."
Baldwin enters the new millennium under the leadership of Gibson Guitar Corp. with headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee. Baldwin continues to offer acoustic pianos bearing the Baldwin, Chickering and Wurlitzer brand names. Consumers can choose from a wide variety of acoustic and digital pianos in both upright and grand cabinets.
