This lovely Mason & Hamlin model A, serial number 14626, 5’ 8”, year 1906, grand piano is fully restored by Reyburn Pianoworks and ready for delivery. This piano was built during America’s “golden age” of piano craftsmanship. This is a far more complete restoration than is typical.

Functionally modernized, while keeping the original style.

Re-engineered for a modern touch, low friction, low inertia and fast repetition, action and keyset by Dean L. Reyburn, RPT, CTE.

This piano has an amazingly light touch and round, bright sound. It sounds strikingly as if it’s a piano about 6” larger. You simply must play and hear it to fully appreciate this instrument.

Perfect for a serious pianist who does not have space or budget for a very large grand.

The piano is currently in Cedar Springs, Michigan and includes local delivery, setup and tuning.

For an appointment to see and play this piano, phone Nate Reyburn at 616-696-0500 or email: nate@reyburnpiano.com
