This piano was in a Church for the last 80 years here in Grafton, Massachusetts. I have been tuning and maintaining it for about 35 years.I tune and restore pianos. It was never moved during that time and just played on Sunday's. A very stable environment. Recently I was lucky enough to become its new owner.
I set to work on the restoration.
This included all the usual things that are done on top quality grand pianos like Steinway and Mason&Hamlin such as:Refinishing of the highest quality with closed pore hand rubbed finish. The wood is a rare and beautiful Circassian walnut. I looked at every AA advertised I could find for sale in the US and not one of them is as beautiful. Look for yourself. Also has its original matching bench, which is a rarity.

Other items:Custom hand fitted Bolduc maple pinblock,new German Roslau strings, premium quality bass strings, cast iron plate stripped and re-bronzed and lettered, damper heads refinished, Keyboard renewed with best quality available German keytops and fronts, refurbished original ebony sharps.

Also: all new Renner action parts, hammers, shanks, flanges,wippens etc. Action and keyboard blueprinted back to original factory specifications. New Lamoreux damper felts, refurbished original back action,.

And more: If you look at other AA's get down under the piano and look up. You are likely to find that the underside of the piano is dirty and dusty, out of sync with rest rest of the piano. I always dis-assemble the lyre and replace all the leather pieces and felt as well as lubricate all contact points so the pedals work smoothly and without sound.And I apply varnish to the soundboard and paint the entire rim. When you see it it is as clean and new looking as the rest of the piano.
Of course it doesn't contribute anything to the sound of the piano but is pleasing never- the less.

All the new parts and services are worthless if the piano does not have a superb sound. If you come play it I am sure you will love the sound and touch.

I think it is very likely that this particular Mason&Hamlin AA will exceed your expectations.

Thank you, Geoffrey
