Crafting Excellence Since 1854

Mason & Hamlin was founded in 1854 in Boston by Henry Mason, a skilled pianist, and Emmons Hamlin, an inventor with a passion for acoustics. Together, they embarked on a mission to create pianos that would set a new standard in musical excellence. Over the years, the company quickly gained recognition for its superior craftsmanship and innovative designs.

In the late 19th century, Mason & Hamlin was widely regarded as one of the finest piano manufacturers in the world, rivaling even the most esteemed European brands. Their commitment to perfection was evident in every aspect of their instruments, from the selection of the finest materials to the meticulous assembly by master craftsmen.
