Mason & Hamlin is one of the great piano builders that started it all in the American Northeast. Along with Steinway, Chickering, Knabe, Sohmer, and others, they innovated, collaborated, and refined the instrument into what we know as the modern piano.
Considered to be performance-level caliber, Mason & Hamlin pianos were often selected by top-tier music schools, teachers, churches, and advanced pianists.
Their grand pianos are famous for being overbuilt, with extra thick, wide-bodied rims, full-perimeter (heavy!) cast iron plates, and the patented metal tension-resonator Crown Retention System (often referred to as the “Spider”). The CRS is a series of spoke-like turnbuckles mounted under the piano pulling inwards from all sides, keeping the rim from ever spreading, thus retaining the necessary tonal “crown” of the soundboard.
During this period in the 1990s, the pianos were fitted with full Renner actions, of the same caliber as the great European grands, including the Steinways from Hamburg.
Notice the sharps are beautifully fashioned from two different woods: a natural hardwood base with real ebony caps. Very elegant.
If you’re looking for an affordable handcrafted American performance grand, you must put this on your shortlist. There is a reason why, for a time, Mason & Hamlin was Steinway’s chief competitor.
