Due to the age of the technology and the fact that Baldwin absolved any responsibility for supporting it after they sold the Pianovelle line to Gibson, it's not worth much. I'd say no more than $500 if it's in good working order. I have a client with one who is in need of the Operating System Disc that it comes with from the manufacturer. Their OS has become corrupt and the piano won't even play at the moment. If anyone has a disc I can buy or perhaps get a copy of, great! - craig@easicomputers.net

A Baldwin Acrosonic was Baldwins designation for its deluxe cabinet style in it's smaller pianos. While it is true that most commonly Acrosonics were spinet pianos, Baldwin also made Acrosonic console pianos. Generally a console piano is one that is 40" or taller and a spinet is a piano that is shorter than 40" down to about 36". Most Acrosonic pianos are now over 30 years old . Back in its hay-day the Acrosonic was considered a very good piano but unless you find one that is in exceptional condition, there are much better pianos available today from makers like Yamaha, Kawai, and even some Chinese made pianos. Today's Baldwin pianos are mostly made in China with a very few exceptions.
It would depend on its condition. It would be advisable to get it tuned first, if it is not regularly tuned. Then, call a local music store for an appraisal. If you get it tuned regularly and there are no problems with it, you can probably get a pretty decent price though. Notes: -The piano will not be worth more than what you bought it for. Steinway pianos are known for this characteristic, but this is not true in the case of a Baldwin. -Appearance will also play a role. If the piano looks shiny and new, it will increase your chances of getting a sale. -Cleaning the keys or having them cleaned will also give an aura of newness.
Have a good piano technician in your area look at the piano for you. Please read what was posted regarding the same question about the Baldwin Acrosonic. I answered this same question there. Jerry
The 1949 Baldwin Model R grand piano is a fine, fine instrument, when in good condition. It's difficult to assess the value of such a piano, because price is so dependent on condition. From what I've seen them sell for, though, I would say that the value of a 1949 Baldwin Model R grand piano is between $11,000 and $26,000.

I wish i could of learned early
I'm not sure of the age, but I have an Acrosonic with serial number 375356 which my grandmother bought in 1953, though I'm not sure if she purchased it new or used. Hope this helps a little. :) LeeAnn naishobi21@yahoo.com
baldwin baby grand grand prix paris 1900 and grand prize st louis 1904 what is the value
I recently purchased ( June 18Th 2010) a Baldwin Model L from BHA Piano in Dayton Ohio for the sum of $7,000 and that included delivery, setup, and one free tuning. The serial number on my Baldwin is 138388 so I think it is from around 1958. It is Mahogany in color. The cabinet has some minor issues in the way a slight fading in spots from the sun. It appears to have new hammers and the keys may have new covers since they look like new. After pricing other Baldwin model L's I feel I got a great deal - However it was just tuned and I have three keys that went out of tune within 2 weeks. BHA is going to send someone out to evaluate the piano and they told me they would give me full credit if there is a problem that can be rectified. I love my Baldwin MODEL L so much that if they tell me they can't fix it I may just have the pin block replaced at my expense if it can be done for $2000 or less.
Baldwin grandfather clock value
Between 10-25,000.00 if in excellent condition and all keys work. Make sure to play it and check the strings.
With American midcentury styles seeing a resurgence in popularity, some of the most popular Acrosonic models are those produced in the early 1960s, with those in great cosmetic shape and perfect working order fetching as high as $1800 - 2000 in recent months. An Acrosonic with serial 486200 would have been produced about 10 years prior to this and is most likely a spinet model, which generally fetch a lower price than their heftier console-style cousins. While perhaps not quite as valuable, it is still a quality piece, and in equally great condition could fetch $500-$800 or more on the right day. As with most vintage instruments, cosmetic condition and actual playability are the most important factors in pricing an instrument.
