Needless to say the sign on the piano 8 months later says its reduced to almost $4k (still waaay overpriced according to the information I received) & yet it still remains unsold. I described the piano to him, he said it was worth maybe $1100 tops as the life of the piano was at its end & would likely need major work.

Thus not as well respected as an actual Baldwin. I called a city Baldwin dealer who informed me that Howard was Baldwins second tierred line. Local music store here in "Podunk" had it priced at almost $5k! (didn't want to negotiate much either) UNrestored in any way, although didn't look bad or seem to play badly at all. Take this for what its worth since I am a veritable piano novice (playing for just over 2 years) & the info I got was from another dealer.īefore I bought my new Kohler & Campbell grand last fall, I considered a Howard grand-think it was maybe 5'2" or so, from the 1930's or 40's.
