from before a beautiful parlor grand, she said with all of an
artist’s enthusiasm: “This is the piano for me—it’s just like my
voice!” Then and there she bought one of those beautifully toned
Mason & Hamlin Pianos
ordering it sent to her home in Melbourne, Australia.
What a pretty compliment: “It’s just like my voice”—and you can
easily forgive the little conceit in it, for singing tone was
exactly what she was looking for, and it is exactly what Mason &
Hamlin makers continually strive for—and get. If you feel that
the best is none too good for you, then by all means call and
hear the Mason & Hamlin, the Stradivarius of pianos.
