About the Mason & Hamlin Model A

Mason & Hamlin's Tension Resonator is a metal frame system built into the piano's rim specifically to maintain consistent crown and tension in the soundboard over decades of use - most pianos' soundboards gradually lose their arch and resulting tonal projection as they age, and Mason & Hamlin's patented system was engineered specifically to slow that decline. This is a genuinely distinctive engineering approach not shared by most other American or European makers.

The Model A size has become one of the brand's most popular offerings, balancing Mason & Hamlin's characteristically bold, powerful tone with a size manageable for serious home and studio installations - American piano enthusiasts and technicians often cite Mason & Hamlin specifically for a tonal character distinct from the more common Steinway-influenced sound many other American-made pianos pursü.

Sound character of the Mason & Hamlin Model A

Mason & Hamlin's signature Tension Resonator - a system of struts under the soundboard that maintains its crown independently of the plate - lets the Model A carry an unusually powerful, resonant bass and long sustain for its size class. Combined with a thick maple-and-mahogany rim, the result is a big, room-filling tone rather than a delicate or thin one.
