The best place to look for these Baldwin acrosonic piano's would be auction sites. You may also find them in your local areas through newspapers and magazines.
The Acrosonic piano has 88 keys and is about three and a half feet tall. The strings of the instrument are shorter in length than a standard piano, causing the tone to be higher. The Acrosonic is manufactured by Baldwin.
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.
As a piano technician, i recommmend having a piano mover move every piano. They have the correct equipment and know all the in's and out's of piano moving such as when to remove the legs or pedals.
I have seen them from 1500 to 800
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

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.
