Additional Details:
The distinguished Russian Pianist, everywhere recognized as an incomparable master of the piano forte, writes as follows of Mason & Hamlin Pianos: Dear Sirs: - I have never before been so completely satisfied with any piano at my public concerts or in my private use as with Mason & Hamlin. They are remarkable in all the essential qualities which go to make up an artistic instrument of the very first quality. They are, in my opinion, in advance of all others because of certain structural features (notably the Tension Resonator) invented and developed by yourselves, which in my judgment give them an exceptional position among the pianos in the world. the action assists the player in a truly wonderful way. Whether in a crashing blow,or in a repetition, staccato, or in the singing of a melody, the action sensitively responds at all times. As for the tone, it is always beautiful, full, with a remarkable clarity and musical quality, and its carrying or singing capacity is phenomenal. (Signed) Ossip Gabrilowitsch
