This 1987 Baldwin Hamilton is one of the most respected studio uprights ever built — and this particular instrument carries an especially meaningful pedigree. During this era, Baldwin’s Hamilton line was redesigned by Pacific Northwest piano designer Delwin Fandrich, whose innovations are still admired today. One of his signature touches is clearly visible here: the fanned rib pattern on the soundboard, a structural refinement that enhances resonance, projection, and tonal balance.

This Hamilton plays with the classic Baldwin warmth, supported by a responsive, well‑regulated action and reshaped hammers that give it clarity without harshness. The sound‑escape slots in the front panel help the piano project more openly into the room, giving it a fuller, more satisfying presence than many home uprights.

Built for schools, studios, and serious practice environments, this model includes several highly practical features:

• Double‑wheeled rubberized casters for easy, safe moving

• A large, wide music desk that comfortably holds multiple books, binders, and scores

• Baldwin’s famously durable construction and long‑term stability

This is a true workhorse — reliable, musical, and intelligently designed. Whether for teaching, daily practice, or a home musician who wants a robust, American‑made upright with professional pedigree, this Hamilton offers exceptional value and performance.
