Baldwin Artist Series Grand Piano: Ebony Satin

Available now is a stunning example of American piano engineering at its peak: a 1970 Baldwin Model L Artist Series Grand. Crafted in the highly regarded Cincinnati, Ohio factory, this instrument represents the era when Baldwin was the preferred choice of legends like Leonard Bernstein and Igor Stravinsky. This “Golden Era” Baldwin offers a level of build quality and tonal depth that is increasingly rare in the modern market.

Technologically Superior Design: The Bechstein Influence

In 1970, Baldwin was the parent company of the legendary German manufacturer C. Bechstein. This era of Baldwin production benefited immensely from a “meeting of the minds,” as Bechstein engineers worked closely with Baldwin to optimize the scaling and design of the Artist Series. The result is a piano that blends American power with European clarity and refinement.
Enhanced Sustain with Accu-Just Hitch Pins
This Model L features Baldwin’s patented Accu-Just Hitch Pins. Unlike standard hitch pins, this system allows for the precise adjustment of the string’s down-bearing on the bridge. This optimization results in a freer-vibrating soundboard and an incredible enhancement in tonal sustain.
