Greetings.
Quote: Mason &Hamlin has a line of grands that vary by length and one upright, but all have superior quality and sound. The tone of these pianos is distinctively American, with notes characteristic of German pianos.
Many say that the Mason & Hamlin, with its technical innovations such as the crown retention system, tunable aliquots, composite action, and extra-heavy duty construction are even superior to the Steinway.
I'm a big fan of Mason &Hamlin pianos, and I'm so surprised that too many piano players do not know about this incredible make! Before the pandemic, we've collected several M & H uprights and grand pianos in our studio. They have been lightly used and now need to be sold as we've been mostly teaching online.
It's believed that Mason & Hamlin is Second after Steinway!

Sergei Rachmaninoff used a Mason & Hamlin to make his 1924 recording of his Second Piano Concerto.
Composer Maurice Ravel said of Mason & Hamlin pianos, "While preserving all the qualities of the percussion instrument, the Mason &Hamlin pianoforte also serves magnificently the composer's concept by its extensive range in dynamics, as well as quality of tone. It is not short of being a small orchestra. In my opinion, the Mason & Hamlin is a real work of art"
Mason & Hamlin is the most expensive piano for the manufacturer to craft it in the USA. Compared to a Steinway, it is heavier when comparing size for size. What does this mean? It has more wood in the rim creating thicker, more sound projecting rims.
