Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano

1966 Mason & Hamlin Grand Piano – Ebony Satin

A Mid-Century Masterpiece: Originality Meets Professional Refinement

We are proud to present a remarkable find for the discerning pianist: a 1966 Mason & Hamlin Model A Grand Piano.
This particular instrument is a rare “time capsule” example, preserved in all-original condition and meticulously maintained throughout its life.

Mason & Hamlin is legendary for building “pianos that last forever”, and this Model A is a powerful testament to that philosophy.
Finished in a classic and sophisticated Ebony Satin, this piano offers the perfect balance of vintage character and concert-level performance.

The “Grand” Secret of the Model A

Although the Model A measures 5’8″, it is widely known throughout the piano industry as the “king of the baby grands.”
This reputation comes from Mason & Hamlin’s renowned Wide-Tail Design.

By widening the rear of the rim, Mason & Hamlin dramatically increased the surface area of the soundboard.
The result is a 5’8″ piano with the resonance, depth, and bass response of a much larger instrument.

This innovative design allows for longer bass strings and a more expansive bridge, producing a rich, powerful,
and distinctly symphonic tonal profile that is unmistakably Mason & Hamlin.

Expertly Dialed In by Our Master Technicians

While this piano remains in outstanding original condition, our master technicians have invested many hours performing
a comprehensive suite of refinements to ensure it meets the highest standards of performance and playability:

• Action Regulation: Precisely adjusted for an even, responsive touch across the entire keyboard,
  offering exceptional control and fast repetition.
• Professional Voicing: The original hammers have been expertly voiced to produce a warm, lush tone
  while retaining the signature Mason & Hamlin power and growl.
• Structural Integrity: The soundboard, bridges, and pinblock are all in excellent condition,
  ensuring tuning stability and vibrant tonal projection.
• Tension Resonator: Equipped with Mason & Hamlin’s iconic steel Tension Resonator system,
  which locks the rim in place and preserves the soundboard crown for generations.

Summary

This 1966 Mason & Hamlin Model A is truly a player’s piano.
It delivers a massive, rich sound that far exceeds its physical size, housed in a beautifully proportioned
mid-century cabinet.

If you are searching for an instrument with more depth, soul, and character than a modern mass-produced piano,
this Mason & Hamlin represents an extraordinary value and a rare opportunity.
