This piano has many charachteristic of & looks greatly like the Mason = & Hamlin A. I'll go on record as saying I like both of these pianos.&nbs= p; They both have good power &excellent sustain. They wng actions were s= et up right and the actions play as nice as any new Yamaha/Kawai. Intersting= board design. It had 15 ribs as per the old Mason A design with many samlle= r ones in the treble & a short cutoff bar.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   The black one is for sale & now I'll be= curious to see if I can recoupe my investment or .... Any way This piano ha= s a New black satin lacquer finish, new belly, i.e., everything. New ac= tion except original excellent rebuilt wippens. Nice original wng damper sys= tem. It's a hummer. I had a really fine ragtime player work it over last wee= k & it really danced & his comment was how smooth the action & e= ven the tone was. I can see that the competition is A Yamaha C-2 & a com= parable Kawai model, sorry Don I don't know that model no.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Any guess to what it could be worth in your= areas. I'll be happy to take comments off list. I have my own ideas but wou= ld like to hear yours. I know I've got too much in the piano but that's the = way it goes sometimes!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>   Thanks--Dale</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT lang=0 face=Arial size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" PTSIZE="10"= >Erwins Pianos Restorations <BR>4721 Parker Rd.<BR>Modesto, Ca 95357<BR>209-= 577-8397<BR>Rebuilt Steinway , Mason &Hamlin Sales<BR>www.Erwinspiano.co= m</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
