folks,<BR><BR>One of our piano faculty is looking around at pianos for his
home. He found<BR>a Mason Hamlin, supposedly a model 'C' serial number 57651,
which dates it<BR>at 1950. It's in at a liquidation sale for the
Ludwig/Aeolian dealer in St.<BR>Louis. It's apparently in decent original
condition. He thinks it's shorter<BR>than the M&H model A in his studio.
<BR><BR>I don't remember ever seeing or hearing of an M&H model C, and
could not<BR>pull anything up with Google (it's definitely not a CC). Anyone
seen one or<BR>heard of it? I'm going to have him shoot some pics to send me,
and also<BR>measure it.<BR><BR>Anyone in the St. Louis area have time to
inspect it if it looks promising?<BR>Might be worth looking
into.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Scott<BR><BR>Scott E. Thile,

<DIV>A technician you might want to contact in St. Louis is Ken Jones,
RPT, <A
href="mailto:kenjonespiano@sbcglobal.net">kenjonespiano@sbcglobal.net</A> (he
is not on the CAUT list). If he can't or won't do it, I'm going
to be in St. Louis on Saturday, June 16 and I could go over and take a look
at this piano. If the people at Ludwig Aeolian says it's in decent condition,
however, I wouldn't put too much stock in that. </DIV>
