Baldwin Spinet Piano

The Baldwin Spinet Piano first made their appearance in 1936 and captured the market and piano enthusiasts’ hearts in no time. The biggest reason for the popularity of this spinet piano was its size and sound quality. Once out in the market, the Baldwin spinet became the largest selling piano of all time. Even now, this classic is a hot favorite with students and beginners.

Though no longer manufactured, the Baldwin spinet piano still sits pretty in the top slot and at the last count more than a million of them were in use. The Baldwin spinet, better known as the Acrosonic spinet piano has the highest appreciation in value, next only to a Steinway piano. So if your granddad or an ancestor left you only that one piano in their will, you could well be on your way to bank…laughing at the guys who got the condo in Boca!

The Baldwin spinet is preferred by a lot of students and teachers alike, over the cardboard keyboards which introduced many a child to the joys of piano playing in the 30s and the 40s. It also scores over the electronic keyboard which gives you no control over loud or soft sounds. This quality of sound has earned the Baldwin spinet a high pedestal in the piano world.

Valued not just for its manufacturing artistry and design, the Baldwin spinet is also a great way to enhance the décor, look and feel of a room. The cabinetry and the body is usually built in strong, long lasting woods like Rosewood and Mahogany. However, the best way to buy these pianos is to find an individual seller rather than a dealer. Start out with some research on the Internet and you’ll be surprised at the number of these vintage beauties out for sale.
