The 6’4” Mason & Hamlin Model AA is widely considered to be one of the best-designed American semi-concert grand pianos. Masons are known for their warm, chocolatey tone, without sacrificing the necessary power and range for all repertoire. In particular, Masons built from 1910 to 1930 are considered the true classics from the original Boston-built factory era. The model features the patented tension-resonator, full-perimeter frame, and heavily built rim.
