I bought a Baldwin piano some years ago. I had it tuned and some strings replaced. I found out the piano was not a Baldwin but a Hamilton (number 368134). No where on the piano did it state (Hamilton). WHY? What was the difference?

Dwight Hamilton Baldwin was an itinerant music teacher in the singing school tradition, although he also taught violin and reed organ. In 1866 Lucien Wulsin was hired as a clerk, becoming a partner in 1873 with the formation of D.H.Baldwin Company. Baldwin built pianos under the names Hamilton, Howard, Sargent, Winton, Chickering, Wurlitzer and even the Bechstein Piano. The 1921 Winton (Baldwin) Upright Piano, was a famous family piano.
The 1949 Baldwin Model R grand piano is a fine, fine instrument, when in good condition. It's difficult to assess the value of such a piano, because price is so dependent on condition. From what I've seen them sell for, though, I would say that the value of a 1949 Baldwin Model R grand piano is between $11,000 and $26,000.
Amy Lee, the singer and keyboardist/pianist of Evanescence, uses a Baldwin keyboard in a baby grand piano shell. She also has a Baldwin stand alone keyboard.
