What a pleasure discovering a U.S. made Mason & Hamlin baby grand piano that has barely been played! The hammers show almost no signs of wear and the piano has benefited from a gentle life. The original, real keytops are in excellent condition. The strings produce a vibrant tone. Tuning is very stable.  One thing that sets Mason & Hamlin pianos apart is the robust design which includes their patented Tension Resonator System httplivingpianos.compiano-brandswhat-is-a-tension-resonator-system-mason-hamlin-pianos which helps these instruments endure the ages better than other pianos.  The sound of great Mason & Hamlin pianos is fat and immersive. Even on this smaller piano, you get a richness to the tone lacking in other larger grand pianos.  The action has been regulated to a high level of performance. The pedal trap-work has been reworked. The piano plays beautifully.  The piano has just been refinished with the classic American finish which is comprised of many layers of sprayed lacquer which is hand-rubbed - just like on new Mason & Hamlin and Steinway pianos.
