Baldwin BPC3 High Polish Rosewood

Baldwin BP3C Upright Piano – Full-Scale Tone in a Compact Vertical Frame

The Baldwin BP3C is a premium upright piano designed for players who demand powerful tone and responsive action in a space-saving form. Standing over 48" tall, the BP3C offers a bold, resonant voice and durable construction—making it an excellent choice for advanced students, educators, and performance venues.

At its core is a spruce soundboard with a large 2,170 sq. in. surface area and 48" string length, delivering grand-like depth, clarity, and projection. The two-ply hard maple and beech bridge, paired with Roslau music wire and 100% virgin wool hammers, ensures precise tone and long sustain across all registers.

The BP3C’s European-imported hornbeam action and reinforced basswood keys provide smooth, reliable response, while features like a quiet play mute rail, slow-close fallboard, and three solid brass pedals make this instrument as practical as it is powerful.
