Mason & Hamlin Model B
Here we have a reconditioned Mason & Hamlin Model B Grand Piano. Make: Mason & Hamlin Model: Model B Finish: (SE) Satin Ebony Statues: Used/Reconditioned. MASON & HAMLIN PIANOS. Mason & Hamlin was founded in Boston, Massachusetts in 1854 by Henry Mason, son of Lowell Mason, the American hymn composer and musical educator, and Emmons Hamlin, a mechanic and inventor who had worked for melodeon makers Prince & Co. In Buffalo, New York. They originally manufactured only melodeons, but in 1855 introduced the organ-harmonium or flat-topped cabinet organ. This design placed the bellows vertically and underneath the reeds and served as the model for the suction operated American-style reed organ. Mason & Hamlin supplied organs to several prominent composers, notably Franz Liszt, whose name the company applied to their patented selective sustain mechanism for organs comparable to the sostenuto in pianos. Mason & Hamlin began manufacturing pianos in 1883. Initially they built only upright pianos featuring a patented method of tuning and maintaining string tension which they marketed as the screw stringer and intended as an improvement over the traditional system with tuning pins. In 1895, the piano department was completely reorganized by Richard W. Gertz, an independent piano designer from Germany who had created new scales for them earlier that year. Gertz was elected secretary of the company in 1903, and president in 1906, and had patented the company’s Tension Resonator, a device fastened to the perimeter of the wooden structure of pianos meant to prevent their sounding boards from flattening. This was first included in their grands in 1900. The most illustrious concert artists of the day aligned themselves with piano manufacturers; 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. American positioned Mason & Hamlin as the “artist’s brand” among the firm’s premier lines, which also included Chickering and Sons (“family use”) and Wm. (“Metropolitan Opera’s favorite”). American’s sales began to decline in 1928 and collapsed after the stock market crash in late 1929. In 1932, American itself merged with Aeolian, consolidating the control of more than 20 brands of pianos in the Aeolian-American Company. Mason & Hamlin, which had been at the former Hallet, Davis & Company piano factory in Neponset, Massachusetts, was moved to a separate plant at the Aeolian-American complex in East Rochester, New York. The company began sponsoring the Mason and Hamlin Prize piano competition. Piano manufacturing ceased in the United States in 1942 under authority of the War Production Board due to World War II, and Mason & Hamlin production shifted to military gliders. The company changed hands several times during the post-war era, becoming part of the Sohmer piano company in 1985. Over the decades, the designs of the pianos were altered to the extent that they had little in common with the “classic” Mason & Hamlin pianos of the pre-Depression era [citation needed]. He named the new enterprise the Mason & Hamlin Companies. Greer’s goal was to resurrect the Mason & Hamlin pianos of the pre-Depression era by returning to the original specifications-including Gertz’s scale designs-and use of materials. A few changes were made, including the use of Renner action parts and slightly longer keys. From 1990 to 1994, about 600 pianos were manufactured, mostly Model A and BB grands, along with a few Model 50 uprights. Kirk Burgett, after taking control of Mason & Hamlin, had engineers digitally reconstruct blueprints of the company’s high-quality pianos in the early 1900s, acquired decades-old, specialized tools, and trained the first employees for two years, in order to produce pianos with a high level of craftsmanship like the offerings from the late 19th century and early 20th century. Mason & Hamlin pianos are still manufactured in Haverhill and distributed throughout the U. Canada, Europe, and Asia. Mason & Hamlin is a member of NAMM, the International Music Products Association and Piano Manufacturers Association International. Each Mason & Hamlin piano includes a Tension Resonator, which is a system of steel rods under moderate tension, anchored to the wooden structure on the opposite side of the sounding board from the strings and iron frame. In grand pianos these rods fan out from one or two central hubs and are attached at intervals around the rim and to the belly rail; the model 50 upright has a rod stretched between the case sides. This adds strength and rigidity to the rim by locking the rim into its permanent shape and which in turn preserves the “crown” of the soundboard. (Mason & Hamlin Model B) as advertised.

In keeping with our tradition of creating piano masterpieces for our U. Clients that are both museum-quality works of art and the highest performing musical instruments, Picarzo Pianos has restored a golden age 1921 Steinway O piano in classic satin ebony with the original nickel hardware. For this masterpiece, we kept the classic golden age (1900s) Steinway O style with the hand rubbed satin lacquer finish of the original Steinway pianos made in the early 20th century. In addition to this ebony exterior, this piano has new instrument parts and has been restored by our partners. This piano is for the connoisseur who would appreciate an rare ebony Steinway & Sons 88-note 5’10½ Model O grand piano from the Golden Age of Steinway piano-making. This piano was restored recently, and is very much like a new piano. Definitely one of the loveliest pianos we have ever seen, and it plays like a dream. From this restoration, this model O received a satin ebony finish, a new soundboard, new bridges, new pinblock, new agraffes, all new action components, new keytops, and all the hardware polished/replated. The tone is powerful and lively, the action is smooth, and the case is beautiful. How this piano may be different from other pianos you are considering. Rare – Very few model Steinway O’s have ever been restored to this level of detail and finish, and almost never become available for sale. Quality – Steinways are considered the gold standard of American-made luxury pianos because of their impressive scale designs and the tones that these designs generate. This restoration is just like a new piano. Lower priced Steinway O restorations currently available for sale are typically only partially restored. Dealers typically economize in restorations of Steinway pianos (keeping the old soundboard, bridges, agraffes, repetitions, and/or damper action) to be able to keep the price low, but are sacrificing the quality, performance and longevity of the restored instrument. Craftsmen – We had this piano restored in Europe by European craftsmen who have been restoring European and Steinway pianos for decades. We have tried several piano restorers over the years, and these are among the best restorers in the world, in our opinion. First Owner – You would be the first owner of this fully restored piano. Instrument Restoration – This pianos is fully restored. 95% of restored pianos for sale are only partially restored. Pianos are not fully restored, in our opinion, unless they have undergone a full acoustic restoration, including a new soundboard, new bridges, new pinblock, new strings, and new agraffes (usually overlooked) and a full action restoration, including new hammers, new shanks, new flanges, new repetitions, and new damper action (overlooked as well). The reason these components need replacement is that they are made primarily of thin pieces/layers of wood, including the soundboard, or metal, like the agraffes, that lose their physical/chemical properties over a century, and wear down/warp over time. Replacement is the best option for these thin wood and metal parts that are vital to the performance and longevity of the restored instrument. Steinway pianos have been synonymous with quality, beauty and luxury for over 150 years, a reputation well earned. Steinway pianos are considered the elite pianos, where, similar to Rolex watches, the main competition for a new Steinway piano is not a competitor, but rather a pre-owned Steinway piano. Each handcrafted Steinway piano has over 12,000 mechanical parts and, when assembled or restored by expert technicians, the Steinway piano is elegant and tonally gorgeous. Steinway piano designs are timeless, with many of their current model scale designs being over 100 years old. Even 100+ year old Steinway pianos play today, although these pianos had to withstand incredibly harsh and inconsistent indoor conditions for most of the 1900’s. Now with climate-controlled (temperature and humidity) homes, Steinway pianos made, or properly restored, after 1990 may conceivably last 200 years in current home environments. Although Steinway prices are high compared to other pianos, Steinway pianos have enduring value over time, much more so than competitors’ pianos.
