Are you looking for a grand piano to fill a spacious room, studio, conservatory, or auditorium with glorious, rich sound. Consider our Mason and Hamlin Model BB 7 foot Semi-Concert Grand Piano one of the world's greatest pianos. Georgian style with walnut veneers and a semi-gloss finish. Original ivory and ebony key tops. Serial Number 17029, manufactured in 1906 at Boston MA Rebuilt and refinished in 1990 by Glenn Woodruff of the JP Piano Company, San Rafael, CA http://www.jbpiano.com/ Excellent condition with a beautiful clear full rich sound, great dynamic range, and an even moderate touch. This piano has always been housed in the Bay Area and has never been subjected to the humidity and temperature variations of harsher climates that lead to cracking, lamination separation, or mold. The legendary Model BB has been the flagship of the Mason and Hamlin line for more than a century. Current production uses the same scale design, specifications, and in many cases patterns developed by Richard W. Gertz at the original Boston factory that produced this piano. These specifications are available at the Mason and Hamlin website: http://www.masonhamlin.com/showroom/modelBB.html The white spruce soundboard is larger than any other 7 foot pianos (20% larger than the Steinway Model B). In conjunction with the unique crown tension resonator, thicker rims, and full perimeter plate the Mason and Hamlin Model BB has greater dynamic range, fuller bass, better tuning stability, and longer life than other pianos. The individually tunable aliquots of the treble strings insure a pure rich tone. Detailed comparisons of the Mason and Hamlin BB with the world's other premier pianos are available at http://www.classicpianos.com/Why%20Mason%20&%20Hamlin.htm Asking price: $30,000.00. A new model BB costs $60,000 but the craftsmanship and carefully seasoned original growth hardwoods used in our piano are no longer available at any price. Please call Riva or John Bacon (Sunnyvale, CA) at 408-736-7387 for additional information. If you reach our answering machine, suggest a convenient time for us to return your call. -- John and Riva Bacon Bacon01@MyRealBox.Com
