Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
          -------------------------------------

          Item 5 to the Schedule 13D is hereby amended, in pertinent part, as
follows:

          (a)-(b) As of the close of business on February 10, 1997, Bolero
directly owned in the aggregate 217,460 Shares, which represent approximately
6.3% of the 3,425,396 Shares outstanding as of November 1, 1996, as reported in
the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 (the "Outstanding Shares").  Bolero, acting through its sole general
partner, Mr. Pavia, has the sole power to vote or direct the vote, and to
dispose or to direct the disposition of, the Shares which it owns directly.

          As of the close of business on February 10, 1997, Florence Partners
directly owned in the aggregate 10,000 Shares, which represent approximately .3%
of the Outstanding Shares.  Florence Partners has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote, and to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the Shares
which it owns directly.

          As of the close of business on February 10, 1997, Mr. Powers did not
hold any Shares directly.  As the sole director, executive officer and
shareholder of Florence Partners, Mr. Powers may be deemed to beneficially own
the Shares held by Florence Partners.  As a limited partner of Bolero, Mr.
Powers has no right to vote or dispose of any Shares held by Bolero, and
therefore does not beneficially own any Shares held by Bolero.

          As of the close of business on December 19, 1996, Mr. Pavia did not
hold any Shares directly.  As the sole general partner of Bolero, Mr. Pavia may
be deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by Bolero.  As the sole executive
officer and shareholder of FHI, Mr. Pavia may be deemed to beneficially own the
Shares held by FHI.  As the managing director of Florence Partners, Mr. Pavia
may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by Florence Partners.

          By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), Bolero, Mr. Pavia, FHI, Florence
Partners and Mr. Powers may be deemed to be a "group."  By reason of the
provisions of Rule 13d-5 under the Act, the group consisting of these entities
may be deemed to own all Shares beneficially owned by Bolero, Mr. Pavia, FHI,
Florence Partners and Mr. Powers.  Mr. Powers and Florence Partners do not
affirm the existence of such a group and disclaim beneficial ownership of Shares
beneficially owned by Bolero, Mr. Pavia and FHI. Bolero, Mr. Pavia and FHI also 
do not affirm the existence of such a group and disclaim beneficial ownership of
Shares beneficially owned by Florence Partners and Mr. Powers.

                     Investors hold 8.2% of Baldwin Shares
                     -------------------------------------

     Miami, Fl.  February 11, 1997 --- Bolero Investment Group, L.P. and its
General Partner, Kenneth W. Pavia, Sr., have announced that they have increased
their stake in Baldwin Piano and Organ Co. to 8.2 percent.  Mr. Pavia reports
that the additional shares were acquired as an investment which he views as
having significant potential for increased value.  Mr. Pavia stated that "the
company's shareholders should enjoy an above average reciprocity of advantage as
Baldwin continues to conform itself to the business requirements of the 1990s."

     On October 15, 1996, the Bolero Partnership and Mr. Pavia called on Baldwin
to hire an investment banker to explore the possible sale, merger, or business
combination as a method of enhancing the company's value.  In light of Baldwin's
failure to hire an investment banker, Mr. Pavia had previously announced his
intent to advance this proposal at the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders.  On
November 21, 1996, the Bolero Partnership announced its intention to propose
five nominees to stand for election as members of the Board of Directors of
Baldwin at the company's 1997 annual meeting of shareholders.  This proposal was
in addition to, and did not replace, the previous proposal.
