I jumped at the chance to grab this large Baldwin console before it was gone for good. This signifies that ol’ 60’s and 70’s era of furniture style. Wouldn’t it be the perfect fit in that space you have ready for it?
The company traces its origins back to 1857, when Dwight Hamilton Baldwin began teaching piano, organ, and violin in Cincinnati, Ohio. In 1862, Baldwin started a Decker Brothers piano dealership and, and in 1866, Baldwin hired Lucien Wulsin as a clerk. Wulsin eventually became a partner in the dealership, which by then was known as the D.H. Baldwin & Company. The Baldwin Company became the largest piano dealer in the Midwestern United States by the 1890s.[4]
In 1889–1890, Baldwin vowed to build “the best piano that could be built” and subsequently formed two production companies: Hamilton Organ, which built reed organs, and the Baldwin Piano Company, which made pianos. The company’s first piano, an upright, began selling in 1891. Baldwin introduced its first grand piano in 1895.
