Baldwin BPC5 High Polish Ebony
The Baldwin BP5 Upright Piano
With its timeless elegance and versatile sound and performance, Baldwin’s BP5 is the perfect piano for situations that require vertical dimensions, but desire grand-like tone. The BP5 boasts nearly as much soundboard area as a 5'8" grand, to provide maximum tonal depth with vertical convenience, while looking great in the process. Like all Baldwin pianos, the BP5 is crafted from premium materials by the skilled team that produces the world’s premier professional pianos. Whether you require a vertical piano for use in the studio, orchestra, school or home, the BP5 offers professional Baldwin tone, looks, and quality through and through.
Classic design, handcrafted features to last you a lifetime
Like all Baldwin Upright Pianos, the BP5 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 125 cm (49") tall, the BP5 is able to accommodate a larger soundboard than most 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.
