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.
