MASON & HAMLIN

IMPROVED

UPRIGHT PIANOS

With their Improved Method of Stringing.

PATENTED JULY 24, 1883.

CHARACTERIZED BY

BRIGHTEST, PUREST TONES, GREATEST DURABILITY,
IMPROVED METHOD OF STRINGING.

The Strings being directly secured to the iron frame by metal fastenings will not require tuning one-quarter as often as Pianos on the old system.

This new mode of piano construction, invented by Mason & Hamlin in 1882, has been fully proved, many excellent experts pronouncing it the “greatest improvement made in pianos of the century.”

WARRANT.--_Each piano will be accompanied by the fullest warrant. Determined to achieve the very highest reputation for their pianofortes, should defect develop itself in any one, the Company will be more eager to correct it than the purchaser can be to have them._

Pianos can be rented, if preferred, at moderate cost, with privilege of purchase.
