This Baldwin is totally playable with a great tone with beautiful checkered pattern within the music stand.
Baldwin’s first manufacturing venture was the establishment of “The Hamilton Organ Company” of Chicago in 1888. The Hamilton Organ Company built reed organs under the “Hamilton” and “Monarch” brand names. In 1890, Baldwin hired Mr. John Warren Macy to design and build pianos for the firm. Their first piano was an upright built at their shop on Gilbert Avenue, Cincinnati, and was shipped to a retail store in Cincinnati in 1891 to be sold. Macy was named superintendent of The Baldwn Piano Company and the firm was soon building several lines of upright and grand pianos.
