It is a baby grand with the dimensions needed to fit into anyone’s home with ease. The Model A piano that is made by Mason & Hamlin is the grand piano for people with limited space. The pianos are handcrafted in Haverhill, Massachusetts to the highest standards in the industry with materials and parts that we find to be equal or superior to the materials and parts found in much higher-priced pianos. It is little wonder that Mason & Hamlin have a reputation for being “the poor man’s Steinway” and some even believe them to be more durable. In some ways, Gertz took an world-class school of thought and advanced it with his new creation at Mason & Hamlin. The tonal similarities between Mason & Hamlin and Steinway pianos are no accident. He then moved on to design and build his own creation: the Mason & Hamlin piano. Gertz was trained by some of the great piano engineers at the Bösendorfer and Blüthner factories where he worked on the design and build of the modern Steinway pianos. The Mason & Hamlin Model A piano came from a design by Richard Gertz, one of the 19th and 20th Century’s premiere piano designers. They just don’t have the space required to fit a grand piano into the room they want. Unfortunately many people are unable to make the room for a grand piano. Looking upon a grand piano makes you realize how beautiful the music is going to be that comes from the keys. The notes float upon the air reaching everyone’s ears. There is nothing as elegant or beautiful as the sight and sound of a grand piano.
