Mason and Hamlin

In 1854, two Massachusetts gentlemen, Henry Mason, a classical pianist, and Emmons Hamlin, a great inventor, founded the Mason and Hamlin Company. This Massachusetts-based Piano brand is a stalwart in the industry, making a number of grand pianos and some specially built uprights. Mason & Hamlin has made a number of innovations in their piano design, including the rim and soundboard. These pianos are suitable for anyone who loves a quality classical piano.

Their attention to detail, passion and limited production were instantly popular. From these early steps, the group won first prize for their United States Cabinet Organ in the 1867 Paris Exposition, but it was not until 1881 that the company turned its attention to pianos. The price of this brand's guitar is not much less than that of Steinway & Sons, but the playing performance can answer for the player why the guitar has this price. Mason & Hamlin favorites include Brian Culbertson, Jarrod Radnich and Rod Tanski.

“Mason & Hamlin pianos have something very mysterious about them.”

Mason and Hamlin gradually lost their way after World War II, but since being acquired by PianoDisc in 1996, they have regained their former glory as leaders in the world of piano manufacturers. They are still the most expensive pianos to build but again they adorn many concert halls and music academies. With a focus on quality rather than quantity, 70 skilled craftsmen produce 50 guitars and 300 men's per year. Each piece is inspected no less than 12 times during its stay at the factory before it reaches its customer.
