Baldwin B252 Concert Vertical Piano | Ebony

A commanding vertical piano with the voice, presence, and musical depth to anchor a refined home, studio, school, or rehearsal space. The Baldwin B252 Concert Vertical is Baldwin’s premier upright piano, created for those who want the richness and scale of a grand piano in a more space-conscious form. As the largest upright in the Baldwin line, the B252 offers remarkable tonal depth, projection, and responsiveness, making it an exceptional choice for serious musicians, teachers, churches, and discerning homes. Finished in ebony, the B252 presents a clean, elegant profile that suits both traditional and contemporary interiors. Its beautifully proportioned cabinet gives the instrument a strong yet refined visual presence, allowing it to serve as both a musical centerpiece and a distinguished furnishing. What sets this model apart is its scale and engineering. The B252 provides approximately the same total soundboard area as a 6 foot 3 inch grand piano, giving it an unusually full and resonant voice for a vertical instrument. Its longer bass string design contributes to a rich, powerful tone more commonly associated with larger grands, while Baldwin’s Full Blow Direct Action supports a highly responsive and expressive touch. Built with a spruce soundboard and ribs, a precision notched hard rock maple bridge, and European style spruce keys with hardwood reinforcements, the B252 reflects Baldwin’s long-standing commitment to musical integrity and durable craftsmanship. Rounded and polished key details, along with a special key surface coating designed to resist staining and chipping, further support both beauty and long-term use. We chose the Baldwin B252 for its rare combination of commanding upright performance, classic American piano heritage, and practical versatility. For clients who desire a serious acoustic instrument but do not wish to compromise valuable floor space with a grand, the B252 offers an exceptional alternative.
