Baldwin B243 EBY 47" Upright Piano

First introduced in 1939 and now considered Baldwin’s best-selling upright model, the B243 is a studio-grade workhorse built for schools, studios, churches, and serious musicians. It combines timeless Baldwin craftsmanship with a bold, balanced voice thanks to its large spruce soundboard, 48" speaking length bass string, and 100% virgin wool hammers.

The 47" height provides ample acoustic space while still fitting comfortably in most rooms. Inside, you'll find a 19-ply laminated maple pinblock, precision-notched hard maple bridges, and a cast iron plate—all designed for lasting structural and tonal integrity. Its satin ebony finish adds a professional touch to any space.

In addition to its musical features, the B243 includes lockable lids, double rubber casters for mobility, and a Quiet Play practice lever for soft-volume practice.
