Mason&Hamlin 3118 revisited

[mccleskey112 at bellsouth.net]

Thanks Paul: I was pretty sure it was built during the Aeolean period but I was hoping that it was still being built in the old factory rather than in the Memphis factory, as were the 80's Masons.
Later.

  Gerald, 

  I beleive this is an "Aeolean" stencil piano.  They bought several names back in the 30's and 40's and really did a number on those great old names.  Not nearly the grand quality of those old "real" M&H's 

  Have fun with it!   

  Paul

  Hey: Yesterday I went to service M&H # 3118. It turned out that it was really # 57076. # 3118 was, as you might expect, the shop number. 
  It turns out that it was built in 1949 or 50. Is that a good year or not? 
  Thanks for your efforts. The moral of this story: never trust a client to give you the serial number.
