I got the privilege today of visiting a good friend of mine who has one of two Mason and Hamlin AMPICO reproducing concert grand pianos. The piano was absolutely wonderful to hear and play. My phone videos can simply not do it any justice. Aside from how pleasing it was to the ears, the refinished walnut case is also absolutely stunning. The piano has had quite the life from what I understand. According to the shipping records, it was originally delivered on February 25, 1927 to John Wanamaker. I'd love to know how it was used and displayed when it was delivered to Wanamaker. At some point, the piano made its way to Hawaii before eventually ending up here in Indiana. The owner also has several theater organs, a Baldwin Welte reproducing grand in a Louis XV case, and a Steinway Duo-Art model AR reproducing grand, and a Mills Double Violano Virtuoso. In this video, the piano is playing a fox trot arrangement of the Jerome Kern jazz standard, "I Won't Dance." If you know anything about this instrument's history, I'd love to hear it. Enjoy!
