Industrial Strength | Designer Aesthetics | The Ultimate Studio Icon

A Study in Contrast: Midnight Charcoal & Cinnamon This 1982 Baldwin Hamilton 45″ Studio has been professionally transformed into a modern masterpiece. By pairing a deep Midnight Charcoal finish with the organic warmth of a Cinnamon-stained wood accent, we’ve created a look that is both edgy and timeless. Every surface has been meticulously sealed for protection, ensuring that this “classic beauty” remains pristine for decades to come.

The Legendary Baldwin Hamilton 243 For over half a century, the Baldwin 243 was the most popular school and studio piano in America. Known for its massive 45-inch soundboard and “full-size” upright action, it delivers a tonal depth and mechanical responsiveness that rivals many grand pianos. This 1982 model comes from a premier era of Baldwin production, featuring the heavy-duty construction and oversized casters that made the Hamilton a legend of durability.

Master-Level Customization While the exterior was given a designer makeover, the interior received the signature “All Keyed Up” treatment. Our master technicians ensured that this piano performed as beautifully as it looked, with a focus on:

• Precision Regulation: The world-famous Baldwin action adjusted for lightning-fast response.
• Tonal Voicing: Brining out the deep, rich “American” bass the 243 is known for.
• Environmental Sealing: Ensuring the custom finish is durable enough for a lifetime of play.

Comparison to a New Model

1982 Custom Baldwin 243 vs. New Institutional Studio Upright

• Price: $1,299 (Custom) vs. $7,500+ (Basic)
