BALDWIN COMPANY HISTORY : |
Baldwin is one of the most recognizable brand names in the history of the piano industry. It is also the brand whose products have covered the quality spectrum. In its early 20th century heyday, Baldwin was a prestigious brand in America that made some beautiful, heirloom quality 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 -- a road that Steinway now travels. 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 names are almost all made in China and bear little resemblance to the quality level of the artistic pianos that were once made in America. | |
