In the year 1936 Baldwin’s piano company produced and introduced a special kind of piano that became one of the most popular pianos in the world called the Baldwin acrosonic piano. Following the death of Sir Dwight Baldwin in 1899, the piano company decided to develop and later introduce the ‘Acrosonic’ Upright Piano to the world. By 1973 Baldwin’s piano company had manufactured one million acrosonic pianos. The company thrived in spite of the Great Depression in the 1910s and World War 2 in the 1940s when the Baldwin factories were taken over by the national military to produce plywood for military aeroplanes. He opened a piano dealership in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The Baldwin piano company was founded by Sir Dwight Baldwin in 1862. But they are much less popular in Europe maybe because of highly rated piano manufacturers like Steinway & Sons, Bechstein as well as Kawai and Yamaha here in Europe. If you are from the United States there is a high chance that you have heard about Baldwin pianos.
