Wasn't quite sure why you played it a 2nd time; the first was around the correct tempo. Your piano sounds lovely. I often cringe when I hear professional pianists using too much rubato, with almost half a beat's pause at the beginning of each measure! You don't do that, you keep it flowing, gliding smoothly along... very nice. Thanks for sharing this with us :)
I love your piano -- I'm a very staunch Mason & Hamlin fan, having owned one for 35 years, and having grown up with my Mothers's M&H from 1924. There is NOTHING like the M&H. I'm so glad they are being made again under the strict guidelines of the orignal designs and work ethic. I have the M&H AMPICO reproducer which is just incredible to hear....
I bought a new Mason Hmlin BB in 1980 and played it for 27 years. The improvements in the new MH are very significant and their is no comparison to the old one. It is a fantastic piano. I would love to hear a clip of your MH Ampico reproducer.
Love the way you play that. I think it sounds better when played slowly like this. I am also getting a Mason&Hamlin soon, but its going to require a bit of work I'm afraid. It is a model A, is that what yours is also?
this is absolutely amazing. the piano sounds wonderful
