Baldwin Grand Piano with Tufted Artist Bench

This is a contemporary Baldwin grand piano finished in a high-polish ebony (black lacquer). The instrument features a standard 88-key keyboard with white naturals and black sharps that appear well-aligned. The piano is configured with a traditional spade-leg design and includes a professional-grade adjustable 'artist' bench featuring deep-button tufting in black leather or high-quality vinyl. A brass-finished 'Baldwin' insignia is clearly visible on the fallboard. The lid is currently supported by a prop stick in the fully open position, revealing a sturdy music desk. Notable features include a contemporary brass piano lamp mounted over the music rest and integrated brass casters. Based on the cabinet style and finish, this appears to be a late 20th-century or early 21st-century model. The exterior finish shows minor surface dust and reflections consistent with indoor residential storage, but no major structural cracks or deep gouges are immediately apparent from the photograph. The high-gloss finish represents a standard of modern craftsmanship found in professional-tier Baldwin instruments, which were historically renowned for their 'American' sound. This specific setup is often found in performance spaces or upscale residential parlors.
