I'm so glad I found this video. It gives me even more determination to have my Mason & Hamlin grand (about 6 ft.) piano restored (many have encouraged me not to bother). It was circa dated 1935, though that seems late for the family lore. It was a gift to my late husband's grandmother from his grandfather upon the birth of their son. He was born in 1930 at the latest, though more likely around 1928. It needs a lot of help and is virtually unplayable, yet holds so much sentimental value as we fell in love while sitting at that piano as we each taught the other to play the other's style of music at parties held at his family home. Before my husband passed, we had a refurb quoted. I've been unable to do it since his passing, though I intend to. Thanks for the video as it helps me think about what parts of the piano need to be replaced and which don't (I didn't know you could keep the sharp keys and replace the others, for example.) Beautiful work. I miss that sound.
Beautiful looking and sounding antique Mason & Hamlin. Good wood never sounded better. Thanks Brigham and crew for restoring these iconic American grand pianos. Bravo.
Dude you are going into all this work to restore these pianos,you are a good technician and have a good business,do yourself a favor hire someone who can play the piano,it cant cost that much,whats the point if we cant see what these pianos can do.
You are missing the point. It's Brigham Larson Pianos. He is Brigham. It's his show. He named the store after himself for a reason. He is playing the role of piano technician turned piano store owner. People like the act, and that's why he is so successful. As a piano guy I would also like to see someone else play the piano, but he doesn't need to do that to sell them. They sell like hotcakes with the current formula.

Great playing. I would love to be able to play like that.
I listen to your videos because I love your playing. I wish I could play like you. I do also like to see the wonderful transformations.
Love. MH. Sometime show the tension resonater. Most people have not seen one!
Sounding and looking fantastic! Bravo to you and team!
Nice work!

❤that is an incredible instrument. I’ve never heard a Steinway B play like that…. (Many Steinway D’s do not play like that)
Curtis Harper? What an appropriate name for someone who works on the piano "harp."
I love the tone... so heartwarming!
Does this have smaller keys or did u upgrade it?
Looks like a Baldwin.
