Our two manual Baldwin Organ is the focal component of music at Bunkertown. Violin teacher Dwight Hamilton Baldwin opened a music store in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1862 and began selling pianos. Later he strived to build the best piano that could be built. Baldwin soon became one of the largest piano retailers in the United States and began exporting to other countries. The first Baldwin electric organ became available in 1946. Baldwin was acquired by the Gibson Guitar Corporation in 2001.
Complementing the organ is our baby grand Wurlitzer Piano. This German family has a rich heritage in music. Rudolph Wurlitzer preserved that heritage when he came to America and founded the Wurlitzer Company in 1856. He produced some of the worlds finest pianos, and introduced the world's first spinet piano in 1935. The company excelled in using larger soundboards which provided a more full-bodied sound.
