Although it's worn out and needs rebuilding the structural condition is excellent. One of my customers went up there and bought it and it's in the shop for rebuilding. I just had an all original condition 1915 Mason & Hamlin AA that spent its entire lifetime in northern California arrive in my shop yesterday. Those of us on the left coast are fortunate to be living in the great piano preservation zone due to our moderate climate. If the piano has spent all or most of its life out on the Pacific coast it's likely to be in excellent condition structurally. I would expect that if they only replaced the hammers when they did the piano in the seventies that it could use some major action work. Even if it requires some significant work $7500 is a very good price. When properly rebuilt Mason & Hamlins from the early 20th Century are terriffic pianos. You will need a technician to check it out and evaluate its current condition. The issue is how good of a job the rebuilders did on this piano and how well it has weathered the thirty odd years since the work was done. I just don't think much of the "good year/bad year" system of judging pianos. I'm kidding and if you quote me out of context I'll send my goons out to beat you up. The quality was terrible until he returned in 1919 and took over the shop floor again. Was this a good year for M&H? Is the price in the ballpark?Īctually in the first half of 1916 the Mason & Hamlins were excellent, but in July of that year the shop foreman George Mitchell quit to join the Army. He said, if anything, he'd replace the bass strings, everything else is working fine. The finish is ok, with some very slight crazing and some spots on the top were perhaps a vase was located. The sustain time of the notes is suppose to be excellent & the the treble is alive and well, not dead! The pinblock is in good shape and holds it's tuning. The sounding board was expertly shimmed/repaired and there are no cracks at this time. with the term "for its age") At that time, they replaced the hammers and strings, repaired the soundboard and refinished the piano and changed out the ivories to a an excellent quality plastic. He said the condition is very good considering it's age and that it was rebuilt in the early 70's. Were they good, excellent, ok, or what?Ī seller called me last night with a 1916 Mason & Hamlin A, 5'8", for around $7500.
