ABOUT
BALDWIN PIANOS: |
Baldwin
is one of the most confusing brand names in the history of the piano industry.
Sending mixed signals for over 140 years seems to a Baldwin specialty.
In its day, Baldwin was a somewhat prestigious brand that made some beautiful
pianos. But over time, and in an apparent attempt to be all things to
all piano buyers, Baldwin chose to market pianos of various quality levels
under many different names. Any company would have a difficult time maintaining
a prestigious image when trying to cover all price points. After two bankruptcies
(the most recent of which was 2001), Baldwin was purchased by Gibson Guitars.
Today, pianos marketed under the Baldwin corporate umbrella may be made
in America or China, again covering various quality levels and price points. |
