Its reputation has spread to every corner of the globe. During the last year it was exported to thirty-two countries, into every one of the six continents. No other American piano has achieved such a success. At the International Exposition at Paris, 1900, the Baldwin ’Piano was awarded the Grand Prix, * an honor never before bestowed upon an Ameri can piano manufacturer. The president of The Baldwin Company was at the same time created a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, the greatest distinction the French government can bestow. At the World’s Fair held in St. Louis, 1904, the verdict of the Jury of Experts at Paris was con firmed. Not only was the Baldwin piano awarded the Grand Prize, but a second Grand Prize was given to the Baldwin faeforv exhibit, illustrating the superiority of Baldwin materials, methods and processes in pianoforte and organ building. The greatest living player of the piano, Vladimir de Pachmann, uses the Baldwin piano exclusively * in hi« American concert toufe. In the same esteem instruments o f Baldwin manufacture are held by artists and con noisseurs without number in all parts of the world. But not only the artists and connoisseurs delight in the praise of the Baldwin instruments. It is a significant fact, th... there are today over two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) pianos, player-pianos and organs of Baldwin manufacture in daily use in the homes of the United States. The range of the Baldwin product comprises the Baldwin pianos, grands and uprights, which were awarded the Grand Prix at Paris, 1900, and the Grand Prize at St. Louis, 1904; the Ellington pianos, grand and uprights; the Hamilton, Valley Gem, and Howard pianos; the Baldwin player-piano; the Ellington player-piane; the Howard player-piano; the Hamilton and Mon arch organs, and the Baldwin piano player.
