Years ago when I was much younger, I went to New England Conservatory of Music in Boston for 4 years where I received my initial training. I have been actively tuning (NY) and playing professionally around the United States. I am one of Mason & Hamlin’s biggest fans. I currently own 3 Mason Hamlin grands, one of which I purchased from Country Piano. Its a fully restored 1912 Mason & Hamlin model “BB” 7′. It has a very rich tone, the bass comes right out at you and speaks to you, its unbelievable. The treble is clear as a bell and has an awesome sustain. Over my 40+ year career I’ve played on thousands of pianos of all makes and models, and I have to confess that this is my favorite piano.
