The scale design of Baldwin’s Acrosonic Consoles is based on more than 100 years of quality piano construction methods, offering classic styling and excellent performance that will perfectly fit your décor. The B342’s design features a soundboard and ribs made from spruce, and a precision notched bridge made from hard rock maple. It also features Baldwin’s Full Blow Direct Action, giving it a superior touch to other pianos this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"mbr-section content2 cid-rAykw4IJhn\" id=\"content2-2b\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row justify-content-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8 col-sm-12 text-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"mbr-fonts-style mbr-title align-left pb-3 display-2\"\u003eClassic design, handcrafted features to last you a lifetime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"mbr-fonts-style mbr-text align-left display-7\"\u003eLike all Baldwin Upright Pianos, the B342 still follows the acclaimed Baldwin Scale Design, a precise “recipe” to determine optimum shape of sounding area, string length, and placement of bridges and strike points to produce the best tone and balance all across the frequency range. At 43 ½\" tall, the B342 is able to accommodate a larger soundboard than most compact uprights, and therefore benefits from a full, powerful sound. Its longer strings are enhanced by the purity and balance of 100% virgin wool hammers. Also, Baldwin uses many of the same premium tonewoods and components that are employed in its top-of-the-line professional pianos, including a spruce soundboard, solid two-ply beech and hard maple bridge, spruce ribs and back frame, and a 19 ply hard maple pinblock. Baldwin’s Full Blow Direct Action contributes to a superior feel and response, for an extremely expressive playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subfeaturespecs\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subfeaturetitle\"\u003eSTRUNG BACK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subfeatures\"\u003eBaldwin Pianos feature solid construction, with reinforced backs made of the finest materials.
