Baldwin 243C 1985 Walnut Made in USA Hamilton Studio Upright Piano Original Bench + Caster Wheels

The legendary Baldwin 243C studio piano has excellent tone and projection and is the most popular piano model Baldwin ever produced. It is a favorite piano model among pianists, teachers, college music departments, schools, and churches. Many composers and teachers love this piano for not just its excellent tone but also it’s useful music desk above the keys which allows one to easily write music and make notations.

This Baldwin model 243 features a 45″ height that allows for a larger soundboard and a longer string length equivalent to a 5’8″ grand piano. This instrument has big sound and projection and it is a wonderful choice for any piano player.  This Baldwin “Hamilton” instrument is known for its 19-ply pin-block for enhanced tuning stability, the “full-blow” action with larger parts resulting in faster repetition and a sold spruce soundboard for tonal richness and projection.

As an institutional model, this piano comes with smooth-rolling casters for easy transport across school, church, or stage. This model is known for a responsive action, and appears to have been lightly used.

The Walnut cabinet is in overall good shape with some wear to the exterior. All keys work and the piano has always been tuned and maintained. The soundboard is in great condition with no cracks and all original parts are present. The serial number dates this piano for 1985. Original bench included with original caster wheels, and a piano Damp Chaser system installed. The cabinet and bench have some cosmetic wear but the piano is fully functional and ready for playing.

A great piano for the price and an excellent addition to any home music studio. It is appears to be all original without modifications. It has been regularly tuned and maintained but will likely need a proper tuning after transport, and possible action adjustment to your preferences.

I will list this piano as local pickup preferred but am happy to provide a trusted transport company at buyers expense. It will carefully transported within a reasonable time frame according to buyers availability .

Please reach out with any questions- thank you.
