(1)  BASIS OF REPORTING FOR CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included
herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

     The financial statements presented herewith reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal and recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.  Results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for an entire year.

(2)  INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following:

(3)   POSTRETIREMENT AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

      The Company is contractually obligated to make health care benefits
available to a certain group of retired employees.  Also, the Company
sponsors several postemployment plans for various groups of employees. 
These plans' provisions include severance benefits in which the employees'
rights either vest or accumulate for each additional year of service
performed.  The Company funds these postretirement and postemployment
benefits primarily on a pay-as-you-go basis.  

      In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (FAS 106), "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions;" and No. 112
(FAS 112), Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  The Company
elected to recognize the combined benefit obligations of $2,673,000
retroactive to January 1, 1993 as accounting changes.  On an after-tax
basis, this charge was $1,604,000 or $.47 per share.  Previously reported
first quarter results in 1993 have been restated to reflect the adoption of
FAS 106 and 112 as of January 1, 1993.  The adoption of these standards had
no impact on consolidated cash flows.  Prior to 1993, the cost of post-
retirement and postemployment benefits were recognized when incurred and
were not material.

               		   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               		FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


1994 COMPARED TO 1993

Three Months ended March 31, 1994
     Compared to Three Months ended March 31, 1993
     
     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994 decreased
$2,501,000 or 9% over the comparable period in 1993.  The components of this
decrease in sales are as follows:

	       Piano                         $(3,524,000)
	       Organ                              42,000
	       Music product and
       		 furniture contracting         1,046,000
	       Electronic contracting              7,000
	       Clock                             (72,000)
	                            				     -----------
                            					     $(2,501,000)
                            					     ===========

     The decrease in piano sales is attributable to a 26% decrease in the
number of units sold, partially offset by an 11% increase in the average
unit selling price.  In late 1993, Baldwin's piano sales to many of its
wholesale dealers increased significantly because of dealer incentive
programs and in anticipation of higher consumer demand.  However, the severe
weather in parts of the United States during the first quarter of 1994 did
not allow the dealers to sell this merchandise and therefore adversely
impacted Baldwin's ability to sell replacement pianos to them.  The increase
in the average unit selling price is largely due to higher sales of more
expensive grand pianos and increased selling prices for vertical pianos. 
The increase in organ sales is primarily related to higher sales of church
organs partially offset by the continued decline in sales of home organs. 
The Company's sales of non-portable organs for home use has declined
steadily during the last decade, reflecting a general decline in this
market.  Music product and furniture contracting sales increased due to
higher sales of piano cases to another piano manufacturer for use outside
the United States as well as increased furniture sales to principally two
customers.  Electronic contracting sales remained relatively constant.  The
decrease in clock sales results from lower units sales of grandfather
clocks.

     The Company values a substantial portion of its inventory on the last-
in, first-out (LIFO) method.  The first quarter 1994 gross profit is
$430,000 less than the amount that would have been presented had the first-
in, first-out (FIFO) method been used.

     Income on the sale of installment receivables for the first quarter of
1994 decreased $23,000 over the comparable period in 1993.  This decrease is
primarily the result of higher interest costs as a result of an interest
rate modification agreement on $20,000,000.  See "Liquidity and Capital
Resources."

       	 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)


     Other operating income for the first quarter of 1994 decreased $98,000
from the first quarter of 1993.  This decline is primarily due to lower
display fees on the Company's inventory consigned to its dealers.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of
1994 increased $333,000 over the comparable period in 1993.  This increase
is primarily related to a new "factory direct" sales concept started during
the first quarter of 1994 and currency exchange losses.

     The provision for doubtful accounts for the first quarter of 1994
declined $137,000 from the same period in 1993 due to continued reductions
in losses experienced.

     Interest expense for the first quarter of 1994 decreased $123,000 from
the comparable period in 1993, primarily due to reduced average borrowing. 
Borrowing was reduced primarily as a result of net earnings since March
1993.

     In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (FAS 106), "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 112 (FAS
112), "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  The Company
elected to recognize the combined benefit obligations of $2,673,000
retroactive to January 1, 1993 as accounting changes.  On an after-tax
basis, this charge amounted to $1,604,000 or $.47 per share.  Previously
reported first quarter results in 1993 have been restated to reflect the
adoption of FAS 106 and 112 as of January 1, 1993.  The adoption of these
standards had no impact on consolidated cash flows.  Prior to 1993, the cost
of postretirement and postemployment benefits were recognized when incurred
and were not material.  

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company implemented the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting
for Income Taxes."  The adoption of FAS 109 had no effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.  In the opinion of the
management, no valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets was
required at December 31, 1993.  Based on the Company's historical and
current pre-tax earnings, management believes it is more likely than not
that the Company will realize the benefit of recorded deferred tax assets. 
There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will generate any
earnings or any specific level of continuing earnings.  


INFLATION, OPERATIONS AND INTEREST RATES

     The impact of inflation on manufacturing and operating costs can affect
the Company's results.  However, the Company has generally been able to
offset the effects of inflation by price increases and operating efficien-
cies.
<PAGE>

             		   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
      	 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)


     The operations of the Company and its predecessors are subject to
federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the
environment.  Although on several occasions the Company has been the subject
of inquiries from government agencies and/or persons who may be held
responsible for environmental liabilities relating to the sites in question,
the Company has been made a party to actual proceedings on only one occasion
to date.  The Company's actual liability in such matter was not significant.
The Company does not anticipate that any environmental matters currently
known to the Company will result in additional proceedings against the
Company or in any material liability. 

     The Company and its subsidiaries' operating results are sensitive to
changes in interest rates primarily because of fixed interest rates on
installment receivables and floating interest rates on a substantial portion
of indebtedness.  Additionally, the buyer of the installment receivables is
entitled to earn interest on the outstanding principal balance of the
contracts based upon a floating interest rate provision.

     The Company can partially offset the effect of interest rate changes by
adjusting display fees on its consigned inventory and interest rates on its
new installment receivable contracts.  The Company has an interest rate
modification agreement which ensures, through October 1994, that with
respect to $25,000,000, the Company will receive interest income to the
extent the one-month commercial paper rate reported on the Federal Reserve
statistical release H15(519), converted to a money market yield, exceeds
12%.  

     In 1993, the annual rate of interest under the revolving line of credit
(Revolver) was the prime lending rate plus 1/2%.  Effective February 15,
1994, the annual rate of interest is 150 basis points plus the greater of
the LIBOR on three month deposits or the rate on 60 day high grade
commercial paper.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company and its wholly-owned finance subsidiary (Finance) require
significant working capital to support their operations.  Working capital
requirements fluctuate throughout the year. 

     The Company ships musical instruments and clocks to its Baldwin dealer
network on a consignment basis.  Management believes the consignment program
creates a competitive advantage for its dealers.  Dealers are able to
display a larger and more comprehensive product line than they may otherwise
be able to without the Company's financial support.  Also the consignment
program is advantageous to the Company for income tax purposes, and
management believes the consignment method minimizes losses from dealers.
<PAGE>

              		   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
       	 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)

     Because the Company finances inventory on consignment to Baldwin
dealers, the Company's borrowing is higher than comparable companies not
operating on the consignment basis.  Management believes the advantages of
the consignment program are greater than the risks associated with the
higher leverage.

     In February 1994, the Company reduced the Revolver from $60,000,000 to
$40,000,000 and extended the initial due date from December 31, 1994 to
February 15, 1999.  The Revolver is renewable for three consecutive one-year
periods beyond February 15, 1999.  Amounts outstanding under the Revolver
are due one year after demand.  However, the lender retains absolute
discretion regarding further advances, even if no event of default then
exists.

     Under the Revolver, the lender will make available a line of credit
based upon certain percentages of the value of the Company's inventories and
trade accounts receivable.  At March 31, 1994, the Company had approximately
$24,325,000 of additional borrowing available under the $40,000,000
Revolver.

     The Company's debt agreements contain covenants that restrict, among
other things, the payment of dividends, the repurchase of the Company's
common stock and the Company's ability to incur new indebtedness and to
enter new businesses.  Such agreements permit the payment of dividends or
repurchase of the Company's common stock equal to the lesser of (i) 50% of
the Company's cumulative net earnings since January 1, 1986 or (ii) the
amount of unused borrowing available under the Company's Revolver, reduced
by the unpaid portion of the term loan.  Accordingly, at March 31, 1994,
approximately $19,325,000 is available for the payment of dividends or the
repurchase of the Company's common stock.  The Company's debt agreements
contain provisions by which a default under one agreement constitutes a
default under the other agreements.  The Company has been in compliance with
these covenants.

     In February 1994, Finance amended its agreements with an independent
entity to sell substantially all of its installment receivable contracts up
to a maximum outstanding principal amount of $72,000,000.  Certain
installment receivables are not eligible for sale and are retained by
Finance.  Finance continues to service all installment receivables sold.

     At the time of each installment receivable sale, Finance receives cash
equal to the unpaid principal balance of the contracts, less a holdback of
10% of the principal balance of the contracts sold.

     The buyer of the installment receivables earns interest on the
outstanding principal balance of the contracts based upon a floating
interest rate provision.  Over the life of the contracts, the difference
between the actual yield on the installment contracts sold, using the
interest method, and the amount retained by the buyer, is remitted to
Finance as a service fee.  Finance's performance under this agreement is
guaranteed by a third party lender for which Finance pays a fee of 1% of the
<PAGE>

              		  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
       	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)


outstanding balance.  In February 1994, Finance entered into a five year
interest rate modification agreement on $20,000,000 whereby, Finance will
receive interest income to the extent the floating rate retained by the
buyer exceeds 6% or will pay interest expense to the extent the floating
rate is less than 6%.

     Proceeds from sale of installment receivables amounted to $8,704,000
for the first quarter of 1994 compared to $9,566,000 for the same period of
1993. The decrease in the first quarter of 1994 compared to the same period
of 1993 is largely the result of reduced sales volume during the first
quarter of 1994.  

     Under the sale agreements, Finance is required to repurchase accounts
that become more than 120 days past due or accounts that are deemed
uncollectable.  The repurchase price is equal to the remaining unpaid
principal balance of the contract on the date repurchased, less the related
10% holdback.  Finance remains contingently liable on approximately
$56,835,000 of installment receivables.  Management believes an adequate
allowance has been provided for any uncollectable receivables.

     Certain Wurlitzer dealers finance their inventory with floor plan loans
from an independent bank.  Dealers can borrow money from the bank based upon
the value of the inventory purchased from Wurlitzer, with the keyboard
instruments pledged as collateral.  The dealers are required to pay the bank
monthly interest payments and pay principal balance after inventory is sold
or held longer than twelve months.  The bank may request Wurlitzer to
repurchase notes due from delinquent dealers.  If Wurlitzer does not
repurchase such notes, the bank can terminate the floor plan agreement with
the dealers and require Wurlitzer to repurchase up to $2,200,000 of the
outstanding dealer notes.  The Company believes the financial statements
contain adequate provisions for any loss that may be incurred as a result of
the repurchase.  

     Baldwin's Stock Repurchase Plan permits the Company to purchase an
amount of the Company's common stock not to exceed the lesser of 1,033,000
shares or $12,416,000 in dollar value.  From the date the plan was adopted
in November 1987 through May 3, 1994, the Company has repurchased 701,300
shares of its common stock at an aggregate purchase price of $5,655,000
under the plan.

     Capital expenditures amounted to $543,000 in the first quarter of 1994
and $231,000 in the comparable period of 1993.  At March 31, 1994, the
Company had no significant outstanding capital commitments.

BALDWIN
BALDWIN PIANO & ORGAN COMPANY
FIRST QUARTER REPORT - 1994
<PAGE>

To Our Stockholders

May 2, 1994

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1994, decreased 9% to
$25,572,000 from $28,073,000 in the corresponding three month period in
1993.  Piano sales declined $3,500,000, partially offset by an increase in
wood product contracting sales. In late 1993, Baldwin's piano sales to
many of its wholesale dealers increased significantly because of dealer
incentive programs and in anticipation of higher consumer demand.
However, the severe weather in parts of the United States during the first
quarter of 1994 did not allow the dealers to sell this merchandise and
therefore adversely impacted Baldwin's ability to sell replacement pianos
to them.

As of January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 112, "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," resulting in a decrease in net
earnings of $1,604,000 and a decrease in net earnings per share of $.47
for the three months ended March 31, 1993.

Baldwin's net earnings before cumulative effects of changes in accounting
principles decreased 42% to $705,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1994 from $1,217,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1993. Net
earnings per share before cumulative effects of changes in accounting
principles decreased to $.21 from $.36 for the first quarter of 1993. The
decrease in Baldwin's first quarter 1994 net earnings and net earnings per
share was primarily a result of reduced piano sales.
