Mason and Hamlin BB 85472

The Mason & Hamlin Model BB has always been one of our favorite pianos and considered one of the best models ever manufactured by this venerable American piano company.

We were fortunate to come across this one, a fine example of a Model BB built in the USA in 1980. This one was most definitely a piano worthy of extensive rebuilding and refinishing.

Work on this piano was completed by our shop in May of 2023. New tuning pins, new high-quality Mapes strings, new felts, new key bushings, damper felts, and new Abel hammers.

The piano has been refinished in traditional satin ebony, and all metalwork has been polished, it comes with a new artist bench. The hammers have been voiced and the action regulated by our shop technicians.

It would be the perfect piano for anyone considering a Mason & Hamlin BB, Steinway B, or Baldwin SF-10. The bass register on this instrument is deep and rich with a velvety quality that transitions beautifully throughout all the registers of the piano.

Acoustically, the 7’ Model BB is designed for spacious homes, auditoriums, concert halls, and professional studios. This versatility of this model makes it a favorite for use with chamber ensembles and for classical performances. It is also a perfect piano for blues, jazz, and popular music, and has been featured on scores of great recordings from the early 1900’s to the present day.
