Key Features

Fully Composite Action

Fully Composite Action

Made from state-of-the-art materials, Wessel, Nickel & Gross Composite Actions not only provide pianists incredible ease of touch but also the durability to outperform any wooden action by over three times as long.*

Unlike wood, composite materials do not respond to moisture or temperature change. That means less maintenance, dramatically reduced regulation, and complete trust in your piano.

*action parts, excluding hammers or keys

MSW Optimized Bridge Placement

Optimized Bridge Placement

When designing the Virtuoso X Series, Mason & Hamlin wanted to enrich every possible aspect of their pianos. This presented them with the opportunity to enhance their original Boston-era scale layout on all of the pianos.

The improved VX layout moves the treble strings and bridge closer to the center of the soundboard, enhancing our pianos’ power, projection, and sustain. Pianists will experience the full expression and vibrancy of the treble.

Fortified, Wider V-Bar

Fortified, Wider V-Bar

The V-Bar angle has been widened by 50% and doubled in mass, further reinforcing the plate and providing a rigid, rock-solid foundation for the treble strings to transfer sound. A notable increase in power, sustain, and purity of sound will not only be heard but felt by the pianist and their audience.

MSW Action Retention System

Action Retention System

Since 2005, Mason & Hamlin’s sister company, Wessell, Nickel & Gross, has been on a mission to develop a piano action that is unmatched in its performance and consistency. The result is a new system that is exclusive to Virtuoso X Series pianos—the Action Retention System.

This exclusive system utilizes cutting-edge technology designed by their engineers and piano technicians to preserve the performance, expression, and response of the action throughout the life of the piano

Multi-Radius Crowned Soundboard

Multi-Radius Crowned Soundboard

A soundboard’s ribs typically only provide stability, but Mason & Hamlin developed an innovative method that allows them to not only provide strength but also precisely control the shape of the soundboard with each unique rib shape. This method is what allows the craftsmen to create the Multi-Radius Crown Soundboard.

By starting with a steeper curve in the treble and steadily reducing it words the bass, this soundboard is uniquely optimized for both the high frequency of treble notes, which require a stiffer soundboard for clear projection, as well as the low frequency of bass notes, which favor a flexible soundboard for a fuller response.

Tension Resonator

Tension Resonator

One of the most distinctive and iconic features of Mason & Hamlin pianos is the Tension Resonator. This ingenious device was created in 1900 by Richard Gertz and ensures that every measurement and dimension of the piano remains unchanged—maintaining the crown of the soundboard through the passage of time.

The inclusion of a Tension Resonator preserves the piano’s vibrancy, voice, and tone for generations to come, transforming it from an exceptional instrument into a treasured heirloom.

MSW Action Retention System

Action Retention System Features

Balanced White and Black Keys

Unique geometry for the different natural and sharp key lengths creates a smooth rolling effect in each key which reduces friction and drag.

Composite Repetition

The unique shape of our repetition moves the center of gravity toward the pin, creating a silky-smooth feel for the pianist.

Composite Bushings

Keep and maintain an extremely stable pin torque—after being tested at 18 million blows per key, the piano kept a consistent touch from note to note.

Carbon Fiber Shanks

Uniform strength-to-weight ratio establishes a consistent striking point, tone, and volume throughout the entire life of the piano.

Hard Anodized Capstans, Balance Rail, and Key Pins

Hard Anodized aluminum is one of the hardest and lightest substances in the world that holds its polish and smoothness, creating a friction-free material lasting over 20 years in critical heavy-wear areas.
