Anyone know of a truly safe investment? With the economy so in flux these days, that’s a natural question. Mason & Hamlin has manufactured premium pianos for over 150 years. And they are a great investment.

Principal Financial Advisor Joseph Alotta of Open Door Investment Advisors Inc. notes, “As an investment, Mason & Hamlin pianos make excellent collectibles… They appreciate about 4.5 percent a year, and you can also play them.”

The Mason & Hamlin website states, “Mason & Hamlin pianos have appreciated in value further than other investment-grade commodities such as gold, silver or wine.”

Toward achieving the highest quality, Mason & Hamlin manufactures fewer than 350 pianos annually. Thus, each piano is truly a one-of-a-kind original, a limited edition, and will undoubtedly increase in value for decades to come.

This quality of performance is assured by Mason & Hamlin’s patented Crown Retention System. It ensures your piano’s soundboard retains its original contour and sound production qualities. A 75-year-old Mason & Hamlin often sounds better than other brands because of this system.

By purchasing a Mason & Hamlin piano during Hollywood Piano’s 3rd Annual PianoFest, you can acquire the best, made-in-America piano with substantial savings. Mason & Hamlin authorized substantial rebates for PianoFest. Hollywood Piano owner Glenn Treibitz said, “These rebates allow you to buy the Mason & Hamlin for 40 percent less than you would pay for ‘that famous brand which begins with an ‘S.’”

Over the last month we’ve explored the superior design and unique materials used in these hand built American masterpieces. Truly a multi generational purchase with a soundboard that will sing 100 years from now because of the exclusive Crown Retention System and a carbon fiber action that will go on 100 years or more without having to be rebuilt.  When you add it all up the Mason & Hamlin is a treasure that will be a family heirloom for generations to come.
