Mason & Hamlin A – Roberts Pianos Houston
Mason & Hamlin A
Built in 1975, this Mason & Hamlin Model A is a 5 ft 8 in grand designed for players who appreciate American craftsmanship. One of the distinctive features of Mason & Hamlin instruments is the patented Tension Resonator, an ingenious device introduced in 1900 that helps maintain the crown of the soundboard over time ([Virtuoso X Series Model A • Mason & Hamlin Piano Company](https://masonhamlin.com/vx-series/model-a/#:~:text=TENSION%20RESONATOR)). The result is a piano that retains its vibrancy and singing tone through decades of use. The Model A couples a thick hard‑rock maple rim with a full‑perimeter cast‑iron plate and an Eastern white spruce soundboard, providing a strong bass, clear treble and overall robustness. This example has been well-maintained and offers a responsive action suitable for both expressive musicianship and technical study.

Mason & Hamlin
Mason & Hamlin is a historic American maker known for strong construction and a deep, focused tone. Their pianos have a long sustain, rich bass, and a clear, weighted treble. The tension-resonator design helps the soundboard keep its crown over time, which is why older examples often still hold their character. Musicians value them for power, durability, and a voice that feels grounded rather than bright or thin.
