Baldwins?!!!?
Really? I never knew that.
Please do tell more.
i have performed on the big baldwin sd10 and loved it. Always liked them as much in many cases and in some cases more than american steinways.
One of my dream piano is the sf10 , i mean wow, slinky renner action, incredible power and balance and range of tone quality, easy to control and doesnt let up when you really whail and lay into it.
Stay away from new baldwin post gibson if are are loking for american old school well made.
Baldwin L are fabulous home instruments with deep dark and warm sounds
Used.shigeru. that would probably end the game, if you go japanese, and can actually find one, hint they are difficult to score used because people absolutely adore them and simply dont unload them onxe acquired, still, hands down my top no 1 pick for a piano in the sub 100,000k range and honestly i feel they give the ultra high tier instruments a run for the money, i have liked shigerus more than many pianos costing twice or more.
If you are considering something in the 6 footer range you would also do well to seek out a charles walter they are also on my hit / wish list
