Baldwin BPC5 High Polish Ebony

Baldwin BPC5 Upright Piano – Grand-Scale Power in a 49″ Vertical Frame

The Baldwin BPC5 (BP5) is a professional-grade 49" upright piano designed to deliver nearly the tonal depth of a baby grand—while fitting comfortably in a vertical format. Built with Baldwin’s renowned craftsmanship, it’s ideal for advanced students, educators, institutions, and home musicians who need serious performance in a compact footprint.

The BP5 features a solid spruce soundboard with a generous 2,239 sq. in. surface area and 50″ string length, producing powerful projection, rich harmonics, and excellent sustain. Two-ply hard maple and beech bridges, Roslau music wire, and 100% virgin wool hammers work in harmony to create a responsive, expressive voice across all registers.

A Full Blow™ Direct Action and reinforced basswood keys ensure precision and reliability, while thoughtful details like a quiet play mute rail, slow-close fallboard, and solid brass pedals enhance the experience.
