MASTERPIECE MODELS
X E R F E C T I O N is largely a matter
of being divinely dissatisfied. The Baldwin of 1900, 1904,
1914, 1930, appeared perfect.... was perfect in the opin*
ions of the judges of World Expositions and in the ex*
pressed approval of great musicians.
But the men who made the Baldwin were not satisfied. In
the secret places of their laboratories, in the studios of their
musician friends, upon the concert platforms of America,
they have been constantly at work, consulting, analyzing,
checking and re-checking.
At work, too, (for seven years), upon the development of
the marvelous new Tone Spectrograph, an electrical in'
strument that has brought into being, a new conception of
piano tone. Baldwin has the only instrument of this type
in the world.
It breaks each tone into its component harmonic partials.
It guarantees that the scale of each Baldwin shall be scien-
tifically even. It guarantees that every Baldwin shall pos'
sess, gloriously, the new characteristic Baldwin tone.
The building of the Baldwin is no longer subject to human
limitations. It has become an exact science.
And now we fling the door open to present to you, a new
line of MASTERPIECE MODELS in which this new tone is
released to the musical world.... among them is the new
FIVE FOOT T W O INCH BALDWIN MODEL "M",
A BABY GRAND PIANO WITH BREATH-TAKING
BEAUTY OF TONE . . . AN EPOCH MARKING
TRIUMPH FOR BALDWIN ENGINEERS.
Only when sitting at its keyboard will you realise that into
the Baldwin of the time-honored past, has entered the very
musical soul of the rugged present and the brilliant future.
Baldwin "Masterpiece Models are priced in accor*
dance with Baldwin's policy of passing savings
in materials and labor directly to our customers.
