Dear Friends:

Baldwin’s support of performing artists and

institutions is a tradition which dates back to

the beginning of this century. Today, our

Concert & Artist Division, based in New York’s

Hit Factory recording studio building on West

54th Street, is the center for our international

activities.

To meet the varied needs of our artists and

institutions, we maintain a collection of more

than 100 Baldwin SD10 9-foot concert grands

throughout North America.

When you see a Baldwin in concert, on

television or noted on a recording, it’s more

than likely that the C&A Division is assisting to

make this great performance possible.

The famed Hit Factory

in New York City is

home to Baldwin's

Concert & Artist

Division.

Baldwin Artists span all musical genres, from

jazz to pop, classical to country. We’re proud of

the breadth and depth of our roster, which

continues to grow. Baldwin Artists are not paid

for their endorsements. Rather, their

preference is a testimony to the performance

characteristics of the Baldwin.

To learn more about C&A activities and

Baldwin Artists, we offer our new publication,

Baldwin Revue. To request a complimentary copy,

write us at the Baldwin C&A Division, 421 W.
