This piano has been restrung with new strings and tuning pins, new damper felts, new hammers, new shanks, new knuckles, new key bushings, and new front rail bushings. The case has also been refinished with a sprayed lacquer which has been hand rubbed for an authentic finish.

At the time this piano was made, the American piano industry was in its prime and Baldwin was at the top of the list of great American pianos. What is so special about this piano comes down to two things

• The Model D Baldwin has a stellar design which offers a rich rewarding sound from the very lowest octave producing a thunderous bass to the top end of the piano which has a singing tone. It also has a top notch action which responds to every nuance of touch and can handle the demands of the most accomplished concert pianist.
• This particular piano has been restored to play on a high level. The new strings produce a clean, clear sound. The new hammers and other action parts enable a high level of voicing which is even throughout all registers.

If you have the space for the ultimate piano or have a performance space, teaching or recording studio, this can be the perfect piano for you.
