Questions: 
1.  Does this piano have potential to be a great instrument?  
2.  Is it worth putting thousands of  dollars into it? or-  might it be wiser 
to replace action, restring, etc.  just minimal work until funding magically 
arrives for a new Steinway?  
3.  Has anyone else fallen into such a  thing? 


I, too, really like the Baldwin SD-10, however; if this Baldwin was truly  
built in the 1950's, it is not an SD (introduced around 1965) but a plain old D. 
 I have tried to resurrect a couple of '50's Baldwin D's on limited budgets 
and  one of them came through reasonably well. It would have been much better 
with a  bigger budget, but it wasn't awful. Not being awful isn't necessarily 
the best  recommendation, though. It might come down to the individual piano, 
some have  decent character and some, not so much. Both of the Baldwin D's are 
great for  practice pianos, for whatever that is worth. 
 
The "nose" factor is difficult to overcome.....
