1980
I bought a Baldwin piano some years ago. I had it tuned and some strings replaced. I found out the piano was not a Baldwin but a Hamilton (number 368134). No where on the piano did it state (Hamilton). WHY? What was the difference?
The Baldwin Aerosonic upright piano with serial number 479078 was likely manufactured in the late 1950s to early 1960s. The value of such a piano can vary significantly based on its condition, location, and market demand, typically ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. For a more accurate appraisal, it's advisable to consult a local piano technician or appraiser.
In dating a Baldwin by serial number, knowing whether it is an upright or grand piano is important, as each of these was serialized separately. In this case, a baby grand with serial 18987 would have been built in 1912.
Paste the following website into your browser. As of today (03/13/09), it says they are updating their database, but I have checked for Baldwin pianos (They were the one's that made Hamilton Piano's) and you could simply plug in your serial number and it would give you at LEAST a 10 year range. Hope this helps. http://www.gibson.com/en-us/Divisions/Baldwin/Conservatory/Age%20of%20Your%20Piano/

Assuming this is an upright (vertical) piano, the serial 261236 would belong to a unit built sometime in 1936. If the serial number belongs to a grand instead, it would have been built in 1984.
