Baldwin Grand Piano
I have a satin finished black grand BALDWIN model SF 10 7'0'' piano that I must sell. It is in excellent shape with a serial number of 56840. It was refinished in 2003 and was originally built for Jose Iturbe, a famous pianist/movie star from the past. I purchased it from the estate of his piano technician. I hope to sell it for $10,000 but realize the economy is bad and would gladly lower that price for a church or private musician. It comes with a black bench. My phone # is 770-564-3447 and my Email address is lagerfeld88@aol.com. The piano is located in my home in Stone Mountain.
