[CAUT] Hazelton Bros NY 5'6" grand

[Paul T Williams]

I'm thinking that it's pretty old as it's been refinished and has an 
"older" look about it.  I may check it out.  For $2,500, it might be a 
decent practice room grand which would free up one I have as a "floating 
loaner" Baldwin R that I put in faculty studios or classrooms to move the 
regular piano to the shop for service. It's supposed to be a practice 
grand.

If it's actually vintage--say '20s, you're likely to be pleasantly 
surprised if it has any of its original sound left.
Knew of one locally for years that was actually a very good piano.  Had 
that combo clarity, power and sweetness in the treble and smoothness of 
tenor/bass transition area one associates with more high-end makes. The 
uprights of that era that I've seen were definitely several cuts above the 
average as well.

Entry-level quality, by Samick. I'm not impressed.

Mornin' all. 

Does anyone know about the Hazelton Brothers piano co? A church here in 
Lincoln is selling one for $2,500 all refinished, but haven't looked at it 
yet. Might consider it for a practice room or something. Not sure of the 
year made, so it could be a Kohler and Campbell or a Samick. I've never 
seen one. 

Thanks
