Mason & Hamlin, on the other hand, is privately owned by the Burgett brothers and operated independently under the careful guidance of a master piano builder. Steinway is publicly traded and in addition to a heavy marketing budget, they are inevitably driven by profit.

Both Mason & Hamlin and Steinway boast being the highest calibre with long histories, tremendous playability, and heirloom-class longevity.

Much of this is dependent on the tastes and preferences of the player and the role the piano plays in the home. When comparing top-tier pianos there are many subtleties and great differences in tone, action, and feel. Richard Gertz is responsible for much of what defines the modern Mason & Hamlin piano: the crown retention system, the aliquots, and profound scale. Understanding what a master he was, they offered him a shareholder position and he went to work creating some of the most innovative improvements piano construction had ever seen. Richard later worked for several factories and after returning to Germany, was recruited by Mason & Hamlin to redesign their scales. After finishing his studies, he was invited to work at the Steinway factory in New York and contributed greatly to their scale, construction and aura. His father sold pianos in their home town of Hanover. Richard was born and raised in Germany to a family of music lovers and performers. Richard was an undeniable genius when it came to piano construction. More than just defined by their generation, many people are unaware that they share a common patriarch: Richard Gertz. Their scales offer a complete dynamic range and their playability is unsurpassed for technical and pleasurable merit. Coming from this era, they both have a booming, full and well rounded sound that the American instruments are known for. Not only are Steinway and Mason & Hamlin are last surviving companies of the hundreds that once populated American shores, but they represent two of the three pianos still being built there. Many people do not realize that Steinway and Mason & Hamlin have shared much in their history.
