I am also one of those people who did not care about taking piano lessons. Spending hours practicing chords and learning songs felt like a chore when I could have been doing something else \u2014 <em>anything<\/em> else. But as a parent myself now, one who knows the absurd cost of any type of lesson for kids, I feel pretty guilty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guilt aside, pianos have been on my mind lately, because they seem to be everywhere I look, at least when it comes to interior design. In fact, while reviewing potential projects for last year\u2019s 1stDibs 50, our team noticed so many rooms with pianos that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/pianos\/\">we featured them all in a story<\/a>. We also learned from designers that sometimes clients request pianos even when no one in the family plays. Can you blame them? Whether it\u2019s a gleaming baby grand or a well-loved upright, a piano adds life to a space. And it&#8217;s not just that they&#8217;re beautiful \u2014 they also suggest intriguing possibilities, like sing-alongs with family and friends or mastering favorite pieces by finally practicing enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/rare-baldwin-acrosonic-piano-walnut-brass-caning-759945-usa-c-1960s\/id-f_50293682\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"793\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435524\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-793x950.jpg\" alt=\"Baldwin piano\" class=\"wp-image-435524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-793x950.jpg 793w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-292x350.jpg 292w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-100x120.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-768x920.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1-779x933.jpg 779w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2910_master-1.jpg 1151w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 793px) 100vw, 793px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/rare-baldwin-acrosonic-piano-walnut-brass-caning-759945-usa-c-1960s\/id-f_50293682\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"633\" height=\"950\" data-id=\"435525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-633x950.jpg\" alt=\"Baldwin piano\" class=\"wp-image-435525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-633x950.jpg 633w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-233x350.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1-622x933.jpg 622w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/DSC_2945_3_master-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 633px) 100vw, 633px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/rare-baldwin-acrosonic-piano-walnut-brass-caning-759945-usa-c-1960s\/id-f_50293682\/\">American-made piano<\/a>&#8216;s tapered legs end in brass feet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one in my family knew how to play back in the 1980s, when my parents brought home the piano \u2014 a walnut Baldwin upright they bought from an acquaintance who had recently gotten divorced. (Apparently, the woman\u2019s husband wanted the instrument, so she insisted on keeping it herself \u2014 and then promptly sold it.) I spent many hours sitting at that piano. It makes sense, therefore, that when I&#8217;m perusing pianos on 1stDibs, they&#8217;re Baldwins. And this mid-century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/rare-baldwin-acrosonic-piano-walnut-brass-caning-759945-usa-c-1960s\/id-f_50293682\/\">Baldwin Acrosonic piano<\/a> stopped me mid-scroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The alluring Danish aesthetic of this Baldwin Acrosonic was the result of a collaboration between the piano manufacturer and Baker Furniture. The lines of the instrument&#8217;s walnut cabinet and its cane accents were likely influenced by the manufacturer&#8217;s other furniture of that period, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/storage-case-pieces\/sideboards\/finn-juhl-baker-model-40-1-2-sideboards-walnut-cane-1950s\/id-f_51067932\/\">this sideboard by Finn Juhl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/storage-case-pieces\/sideboards\/finn-juhl-baker-model-40-1-2-sideboards-walnut-cane-1950s\/id-f_51067932\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master-950x529.jpg\" alt=\"Finn Juhl For Baker Model 40 1\/2 Sideboards in walnut and cane, 1950s\" class=\"wp-image-435500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master-950x529.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master-628x350.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master-120x67.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master-768x428.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/Finn_Juhl_Baker_Sideboard_Walnut_Cane_Overview_three_quarter_master.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/storage-case-pieces\/sideboards\/finn-juhl-baker-model-40-1-2-sideboards-walnut-cane-1950s\/id-f_51067932\/\">Finn Juhl for Baker walnut and cane Model 40 1\/2 sideboard, 1950s<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The piano has splayed legs and brass feet, as well as two cane panels on its back, which makes it even more striking when installed away from the wall, ideally at an angle.

In fact, the trademarked name Acrosonic is a combination of the Greek word <em>akros<\/em>, meaning &#8220;supreme,&#8221; and the Latin <em>sonus<\/em>, meaning &#8220;tone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Baldwin Acrosonic Danish models, like this one, are particularly prized by Josh Cemelich, of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/abt-modern\/\">ABT Modern<\/a>, who is offering the piano on 1stDibs. \u201cThis is probably the 20th one I\u2019ve had,\u201d he says. \u201cI only buy this model.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Cemelich acquires a new piano, he and his team assess and restore it, a process he describes as super tedious, often entailing recaning, leg restoration and key re-veneering. He says he has sold this model to a wide range of clients, including a film-score composer, NBA players and moms who want their kids to take lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m becoming one of those moms. Whenever I visit my parents, all I want to do is sit down at the piano with decades-old sheet music (Christmas carols and Michael Bolton songs? Don\u2019t mind if I do!). I&#8217;m continually interrupted, though, by my two young sons scooting me off the bench to bang away on the keys themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019re like me and want to both own a beautiful piano and make your kids take lessons that they\u2019ll appreciate in 20 to 30 years, maybe this Baldwin Acrosonic is for you. Assuming, that is, Cemelich doesn&#8217;t decide to keep it. A father himself, he says, \u201cI always threaten that this will be the piano I buy for my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"interstitial-banner interstitial-banner-collection interstitial-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-background-image\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/grotrian_steinweg_110_upright_piano_1_master-1-1000x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-interstitial size-interstitial\" alt=\"piano\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container interstitial-text\">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"interstitial-link-around-text\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tShop for Musical Instruments\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"interstitial-subheading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gold-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/more-furniture-collectibles\/collectibles-curiosities\/musical-instruments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View All<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am one of those lucky people whose parents got them piano lessons as a kid.
