Baldwin BPC3 High Polish Rosewood
The Baldwin BP3 Upright Piano
Baldwin always applies the same level of skill and experience to constructing a compact upright piano as it does to building its acclaimed grand pianos for the concert stage. The BP3 displays that ethos loudly and clearly in several stylish design elements. In addition to the depth of experience and craftsmanship, the BP3 benefits from the top-quality materials and tonewoods that are standard from Baldwin. Offering optimum playability, durability, and tone, the BP3 also captures the timeless elegance of the grand with its French style leg, highly crafted cabinetry, and grand-based lid prop. All of which is enhanced by a gorgeous high-polish rosewood finish.
Classic design, handcrafted features to last you a lifetime
Like all Baldwin Upright Pianos, the BP3 still follows the acclaimed Baldwin Scale Design, a precise “recipe” to determine optimum shape of sounding area, string length, and placement of bridges and strike points to produce the best tone and balance all across the frequency range. At 124 cm (48") tall, the BP3 is able to accommodate a larger soundboard than most compact uprights, and therefore benefits from a full, powerful sound. Its longer strings are enhanced by the purity and balance of 100% virgin wool hammers. Also, Baldwin uses many of the same premium tonewoods and components that are employed in its top-of-the-line professional pianos, including a spruce soundboard, solid two-ply beech and hard maple bridge, spruce ribs and back frame, and a 19 ply hard maple pinblock. Baldwin’s Full Blow Direct Action contributes to a superior feel and response, for an extremely expressive playing experience.
