Rare Baldwin Acrosonic Piano in Walnut, Brass & Caning #759945, USA, c. 1960s

By Baldwin Piano Company

Located in Deland, FL

This iconic Mid-Century Modern Baldwin Acrosonic spinet piano is the highly sought-after “Danish” model, celebrated for its sculptural walnut cabinet and elegant tapered spinet legs with brass feet. Designed with clean modernist lines and distinctive caning accents, the piano perfectly embodies the sophisticated 1960s American interpretation of Scandinavian style. The Baldwin Acrosonic line was renowned for delivering rich tone and reliable playability in a stylish, space-efficient spinet format. This particular example features the signature “Danish” profile with gracefully tapered legs ending in brass feet, warm walnut veneers, and classic caning details that make it one of the most visually striking Acrosonic models produced. The wood has been professionally refinished to highlight the beautiful grain, while the keys remain original. Piano rekeying or additional tuning/regulation services may be available at an additional cost—please inquire in advance with the ABT Modern team if needed. A versatile and highly collectible piece, this Baldwin Acrosonic “Danish” piano serves beautifully as both a musical instrument and a sculptural focal point in living rooms, music rooms, or mid-century modern interiors. It pairs especially well with other walnut and teak furniture from the era. A true classic of 1960s design — the iconic Mid Century Modern Acrosonic spinet with Danish-inspired legs and brass feet.

Rare 1939 Aluminum Double Bass by G. A. Pfretzschner, faux birdseye maple

Rare 1939 Aluminum Double Bass by G. A. Pfretzschner, faux birdseye maple

By Alcoa Aluminum

Located in Buffalo, NY

Extremely Rare 1939 Aluminum Double Bass by G. A. Pfretzschner,, ,Retains its original faux birds eye maple finish..minor bumps and bruises,, scratches.dents etc.. Age appropriate wear. Newer strings ,,bridge and tail pin.. Also added and included, a Fishman full circle pick up..The bass plays and sounds amazing,, Hand delivery avail to New York City or anywhere en route from Buffalo NY Aluminum double basses are rare today, and little is known about them. Not much information can be found on the very earliest possible makers…and even the companies that we can confirm made them do not know much, if anything about them. There are various different legends about who, when and where they were made. Perhaps this listing will prove to be as much educational as it is interesting. First some facts: In 1891 Alfred Springer of Cincinnati, Ohio, was awarded a patent for an aluminum violin. There are no known double basses to have been produced from the Springer workshop. In 1894 the Aluminum Musical Instrument Company of Ann Arbor, Michigan offered everything from violins to zithers. By 1898 however, the company was no more. We are not aware of any double basses being made by this workshop and given the short amount of time they were in business, it seems unlikely, but as the range of instruments they produced was so vast, it is still probable. During the 1930?s (the Aluminum Double Bass Patent was issued in 1932) the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) produced aluminum upright basses (From 1929 To 1934). The entire body, neck and scroll were made out of seamlessly welded aluminum and were often covered with a convincing (from 20 feet!) faux wood grain finish. Information suggests that only 500 double basses were made. To find one of these basses today with it’s original finish in pristine condition is rare as most are well worn or have been sandblasted The USA was not alone though in the production of Aluminum instruments. The G.A. Pfretzschner workshop of Markneukirchen, Germany was also producing a number of aluminum cellos...

Pay tribute to a history of rich and diverse musical traditions that have taken shape all over the world by decorating your home with a collection of antique and vintage musical instruments.

Whether you’re playing them or merely displaying them, vintage musical instruments, when cared for properly, can be a wonderful addition to any space. At between four and five feet in length, an elegant early-1900s Steinway & Sons baby grand piano will undoubtedly steal the show if you’re thinking of yielding some precious real estate to one of these American classics, but maybe you’re simply shopping for art to warm the bare walls of your new apartment or weekend home.

For your living room, maybe you’ve already hunted down portraits by Gered Mankowitz, a celebrated 1960s-era photographer who spent his life capturing iconic images of music’s biggest stars. If you’ve got more space to work with there — or perhaps you need some entertainment room ideas — consider positioning an old guitar as a focal point. If a room has no distinguishing architectural features, you could create a prominent focal point with trending paint colors, stylish shelving, an arrangement of flowers or by wall-mounting a spectacularly aging early-20th-century guitar or other stringed instrument.

Alternatively, much in the way that you might group a collection of artwork to hang salon-style, with a little help from strong hanging wire or some wall hooks, vintage brass instruments such as a gong, French horn or trumpet can help elevate a home office or complement the efforts you’ve made to ensure a welcoming vibe in your home’s entryway. Bells or antique wind instruments can add provocative metallic contrasts to dark woods as tabletop decorative objects. Think of them as eye-catching ornamental flourishes that you can bring to end tables in a common area, to the top of a desk or to a mid-century storage cabinet.

Bring culture and creativity into your space with decades-old plywood tabletop radios or musical instruments from all over the world — be they drums from Africa or harps from France. Even if you’re not exactly getting the band back together, we can promise that the range of antique and vintage instruments on 1stDibs can help strike a meaningful chord in your interior design plan.
