The soundboard is the centerpiece of a piano’s essence. This material is no stranger to fine instruments – Stradivarius used Hard Rock Maple in the back and sides of his violins for its strong, robust, qualities. Richard Gertz specifically chose Flat-sawn Hard Rock Maple – one of the strongest most expensive cuts of Hard Rock Maple – for the Mason & Hamlin rim. Material choice is equally important when constructing a piano’s rim. at first glance, this may appear excessive, but when Richard Gertz designed the Mason & Hamlin piano in 1895, he understood that the rim is foundational to the entire piano – a strong, dense rim will reflect the energy produced by the soundboard, thereby enhancing a piano’s power and sustain, while a thinner, weaker rim will absorb this energy and detract from the piano’s potential power and sustain Flat-sawn Hard Rock Maple Mason & Hamlin Pianos have the largest and strongest rims in the world. The Model BB redefines what a grand piano should be, with power and sonority usually reserved for concert grands—making the tonal possibilities truly limitless.
Known for its legendary concert grand characteristics, the Model BB has powerful, resonant bass, rich, warm tenor, and a treble with a singing tone—bell-like in its clarity—and perfect for reproducing the unparalleled tonal range of a Mason & Hamlin.
