Yes and No. I have played piano for 6+ years (and still am learning) and have learned so much since then. I learned on a Baldwin spinet piano and i have to say , they are not the best and don't even come too close either. although the original owner and founder of Baldwin (formerly called Decker Brothers) vowed to build the best piano that can be built, they failed at this objective and filed for bankruptcy in 1983 for $9Billion. On the bright side, many professional pianist have chosen to perform on Baldwin grands instead of better brands because of the quality that was put into each instrument. Like every piano brand and type, Baldwins have a unique sound to them that I have never really liked but some people do. about 90-95% of Baldwin pianos you find will be MADE IN USA. mine is. the others will be made over seas. Baldwin did this to try to save money, this as well failed and they filed for bankruptcy again in 2005 and were bought by the Gibson Guitar Company. Baldwin is a very good company that should please anybody, but remember the most important tip in buying a piano: TRY IT OUT BEFORE YOU BUY IT. if you don't play, bring a tuner or other technician that would know what their looking at. if your starting out, Baldwin is perfect, if you're intermediate, Baldwin is still good, if you go pro, GO STEINWAY. Steinway is the best piano manufacturer out there (as well as the most expensive). brands exceeding Baldwin in quality are: Steinway and Sons, Mason and Hamlin, Kawai, Bosendorfer, Stuart and Sons, and Yamaha. Overall, Yes, Baldwin is a good brand of piano. Baldwin seized production in December of 2008.

∙ 12y agoI personally believe Kimball pianos are great. I have a baby grand and it sounds amazing and the touch is perfect. And it's pretty durable: I've had baby cousins slam objects (and themselves) against my piano and there's no scratches or anything. I've had it for over 10 years and it's still in great condition, both in look and sound. Though I've heard Kimball pianos are out of production so if you want a Kimball you'd have to buy it used.

What is the quality and value of a 1949 Baldwin grand piano model R?
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.
