M ason & Hamlin, founded in 1854, is one of the oldest, most respected names in piano manufacturing. Its reputation for instruments of exceptional quality began when the very first Mason & Hamlin pianos were introduced over a century ago. Company founders Henry Mason, talented member of a renowned musical family, and Emmons Hamlin, a skilled craftsman and inventor, built instruments that were prized for their even, responsive touch, and a warm, rich powerful tone. The great concert artists of the day enthusiastically endorsed the pianos and before long Mason & Hamlin had become the standard for piano perfection

Today, Mason & Hamlin is setting the standard for quality once again, by building pianos that combine the best of old world craftsmanship with today's technology. As always, only the very finest materials are used and every Mason & Hamlin piano is inspected no fewer than 12 times before it leaves the factory.
