In 1893 Baldwin began producing a line of upright pianos under the “Ellington” brand name (named for a lifetime friend of Mr. Baldwin).  The Ellington brand was sold as a more affordable alternative to the costlier Baldwin brand.  The Ellington factory was located on the north side of Cincinnati.

Also in 1893, Baldwin purchased the Ohio Valley Piano Company and renamed it “Valley Gem Piano Company”.  The Valley Gem factory produced the “Valley Gem” and “Howard” piano brands.

Baldwin built several different lines of pianos under the “House of Baldwin” label including Acrosonic, Ellington, Hamilton, Howard, Valley Gem, Monarch, St. Regis, Modello and Manualo.

During the early and middle 20th Century, Baldwin enjoyed many celebrity endorsements because of their superior quality. Many famous artists including Liberace and The Lawrence Welk Show used Baldwin pianos exclusively. Baldwin enjoyed great success during the 20h Century, but later declined until being sold in the 1990’s and relocated to Arkansas and Missouri. Today, Baldwin is owned by the famous Gibson Guitar Company, with production once again resuming in the South.
