Baldwin B151 – Compact Majesty, Distinctly Baldwin
The Baldwin B151 is a beautifully balanced baby grand, offering the grace and responsiveness of a grand piano in a compact, elegant form. At 5′ (60 in / 152 cm) in length, the B151 is tailored for spaces where every inch counts—yet delivers a depth of tone and expressive range you’d expect from larger instruments.
Though modest in its footprint, the B151 is engineered with the same dedication to quality that has defined Baldwin’s legacy. Its wet‑sand cast iron plate, premium Roslau wire strings, and solid spruce soundboard work together to produce a warm, singing voice. The speaking (string) length of about 43″ (109 cm) ensures a resonant bass and clear treble — a rare balance in a piano this size.
As part of Baldwin’s Academy Series, the B151 incorporates refined design and construction features intended to make the Baldwin experience more accessible without compromising core tonal character. The rim is built from beech, the pinblock from 10‑ply hard rock maple, and the action components from maple and hornbeam—each chosen for longevity and responsiveness.
Under the umbrella of Gibson Brands, Baldwin continues to uphold a storied heritage of artistry and excellence. The B151 embodies that tradition in a form suited for contemporary homes, studios, and music enthusiasts seeking grand piano presence in a compact package.
