MasonHamlin Rebuild 03

Registered Piano Technician

Update:  The rebuilding of this piano was completed the first week of September 2003.  In addition to the photo gallery below, I have also made available some mp3 recordings of the piano after it was completed.  While they’re not great quality recordings, and the technique of the player is less than great, you can get an idea of how it sounded when finished.

To hear the mp3 recording, click on the start arrow in the  music  icon.

To view the photos, click any thumbnail below to go to that photo in the Piano Rebuild Photos Gallery.  In the gallery, use the forward and back arrows above each photo to navigate through the gallery.  Click the “Up” arrow to return to this page.
