Baldwin SF-10 Semi-Concert Grand Renner Action 241430

The Baldwin SF-10 is regarded as one of the greatest semi-concert grand pianos ever produced in the United States. Featuring a full Renner action (like in Hamburg Steinway and Bosendorfer) this is a no compromise artist level instrument for the most discerning player, performance or recording.

Every now and then you encounter a piano that has never been played and this is such a piano. The only substantial restoration was in dust removal and minor surface corrosion. Underneath is essentially an unused piano!

In some environments a sitting piano can degrade due to extremes of humidity or dryness. The elements in some regions can cause serious degradation. Fortunately this is a California piano which was not near the beach or the desert. The action is like new and dead quiet. Sometimes pianos from extremely dry environments have noisy actions due to felt and leather drying out. There are no issues like this on this piano whatsoever.

So, what does this piano offer – the smoothness of a Renner action with all parts in like new condition, a singing, projecting warm tone, and furniture that looks very nice. And if you are familiar with what a great SF-10 is like to play, you know the smooth connection to the clear, singing tone you experience. If you demand the finest 7-foot piano possible, this instrument presents a phenomenal opportunity to own one for a small fraction of the new price of $76,500 for an instrument that was manufactured when Baldwin was at the peak of production quality.
