The piano plays like a dream! There is a quality to the sound of Mason & Hamlin pianos generally, and Mason & Hamlin pianos from this period specifically. The BB model at 7-feet is a piano suitable for smaller performance venues, recording studios, teaching studios and it also provides the ultimate piano for your home.

The bass on a great BB like this has the richness, and fat tone you usually only find in 9-foot pianos. However, what separates a good piano from a great one like this is the tone life of the treble. After all, most melodies are played with the right hand. So, having a piano that has long sustain enables you to produce a truly singing line out of the piano – a rare quality!

There are very few BB Mason & Hamlin pianos around today from this period of time before Mason & Hamlin was acquired by the Aeolian Piano Company. While there are some pianos after this period which are fine, pianos in good condition from this earlier period are known for the quality of the manufacturing and the particularly rich tone.

If you have ever played or heard a great Mason & Hamlin BB, you have some idea of what you are getting. But you may never have had the opportunity to play such a piano!
