Newton:

The Baldwin dealer in my town says they quit building the 36" Acrosonic 8
or 9 years ago, and at that time they sold new for around $3000.  Nearest
thing on the market today is the 42" Acrosonic at right around $5000, give
or take a few bucks.

BTW, he said Baldwin dropped the spinet Acrosonic because customers could
get a new 243 Hamilton for about the same price, and the dealer made more
money on the Hamilton.  Didn't pay to load a spinet piano with 19-ply
pinblock, top-end parts and fancy casework.

Because the dealer here is the only new-piano store in town, and he's been
selling Baldwins for almost 50 years here, Baldwins show up frequently in
the local used market.  Acrosonic spinets go around here for $1000-1500.

Hope this helps.
