Nuovo, Mason & Hamlin, 50

The model 50 Mason & Hamlin upright may be the most formidable upright piano in the world. It has an incredibly robust build quality. You get the huge sound Mason & Hamlin is famous for in a vertical piano.

Hand-crafted outside of Boston, this piano features technology unique to Mason & Hamlin including their Tension Resonator System which retains the essential crown of the soundboard longer than on pianos without this technology.

The Wessell Nickel & Gross composite action lasts 3 times longer than traditional, wood actions. They are also more impervious to the environment.

The soundboard features a multi-radius crown with tapered edges for rich, sustained tone. This provides varying degrees of rigidity on the soundboard allowing the bass to vibrate freely, while also enhancing the treble with a stiffer fit of the soundboard.

One listen to this piano and you will understand why many people feel this is the gold standard of upright pianos.
