HAMILTON BALDWIN PIANO SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER
Any Baldwin made piano is worth the time, money and energyįind the age of your Baldwin piano using the serial number chart found below. The serial number indicates the start of the year shown.Take this for what its worth since I am a veritable piano novice (playing for just over 2 years) & the info I got was from another dealer.īefore I bought my new Kohler & Campbell grand last fall, I considered a Howard grand-think it was maybe 5'2" or so, from the 1930's or 40's.
Local music store here in "Podunk" had it priced at almost $5k! (didn't want to negotiate much either) UNrestored in any way, although didn't look bad or seem to play badly at all. I called a city Baldwin dealer who informed me that Howard was Baldwins second tierred line. Thus not as well respected as an actual Baldwin. I described the piano to him, he said it was worth maybe $1100 tops as the life of the piano was at its end & would likely need major work.
Needless to say the sign on the piano 8 months later says its reduced to almost $4k (still waaay overpriced according to the information I received) & yet it still remains unsold.
