The Artist Series 160 continues Mason & Hamlin’s legacy of crafting exceptional instruments that delight audiences around the world, and giving professional pianists the ideal instrument to refine their technique, unleash their passion, and perfect their skills. Solid Spruce soundboards provide brilliant and beautiful sound that only improves with age, while strong, resilient Beech rims expertly reflect sound and enhance tonal sustain for the highest caliber of play. Together, these elements create an instrument that is not only affordable, but truly best-in-class in response, control, and sound.
Each Mason & Hamlin Artist Series piano is equipped with an acclaimed Wessell, Nickel, & Gross Composite Action. Developed in coordination with our engineers, artists, and technicians, each state-of-the-art action is created from advanced composite materials to transfer the finest articulation for the very highest level of play. Built to perform and endure, WNG composite actions last over three times as long as their wooden counterparts, making them the perfect compliment to our pianos. From our carbon fiber shanks, composite repetitions, and exclusive hard bushings, every element works in harmony and precision to give the pianist unparalleled control, immediate response, and ease of play.
