The Baldwin Piano Company (also known as D.H. Baldwin) has always been one of the most widely recognized names in the American piano industry. The company was established by Dwight Hamilton Baldwin in Cincinnati in 1862. Baldwin enjoyed great success during the 20h Century, but later declined until being sold in the 1990's and relocated to Arkansas and Missouri. Today, Baldwin is owned by the famous Gibson Guitar Company, with production once again resuming in the South.
