Mason & Hamlin
The factory was founded in Boston in 1854 by Henry Mason and Emmons Hamlin.
During the "Golden Age of Pianos" (1900 - 1929), Mason & Hamlin had climbed
to the top of the heap, winning accolades from some of the most famous inter-
national music super stars of the day. Among these were Maurice Ravel, Anna Case,
Yehudi Menuhin, and Harold Bauer, who wrote "Mason and Hamlin pianos represent
the most perfect example of the piano makers' art."
Over the years, the owners, factory location, and quality standards have changed,
diminishing the brand, but the Boston-built models of the "Golden Age" are
still considered a coveted prize and enjoy a cult following.
