1949 Baldwin Model M Grand 5’2” piano. Early Artist Series, Very high quality build, Beautifully Restored, highly figured solid mahogany wood with a quarter sawn solid spruce soundboard and beautiful walnut dampers. This piano has spent its life in Utah.

This beautiful 1949 Baldwin Model M (serial #108248) comes from Baldwin’s pre-Artist-Series golden era. During this period, Baldwin was building pianos with craftsmanship and materials on the same level as Steinway and Mason & Hamlin. Early Baldwins are known for their strong maple rims, quality spruce soundboards, and the Scale A design that gives the Model M its warm, rich tone.

It’s a great choice for a home, teacher, or musician who wants a classic American grand with character and musical depth without paying Steinway prices.
