So my question is why would the Heinztman & Co that needs no exterior work done be $300 cheaper than the Mason & Risch that is goingto require many hours of work? From everythingthat I have read both companies have a very good reputation for that era. ![]() I am however taking someone who plays with me to look atthe condition of the pins, the strings and block. Since my husband works in the paint industry I know he can strip & refinish.īoth have assured me that everything inside the piano is working and does not need fixing or repair and both have garunteed that to me. It also is from 1910 - 1920 era, however at some point an owner painted the trim green so it would need to be stripped and refinished and there are nicks and scratches thatw ill need to be filled. ![]() ![]() On the other hand I have a local dealer aslo in business for about 30-40 years who has a Mason & Risch that he is replacing the full keyboard will deliver and tune for $1100.

For years he has talked about getting a piano, so i figure now would be the time since the new home will be completely empty it will be easy enough to find the appropriate space where hopefully it will bring years of entertainment to him, and any kids we may have. In the apartment we are in now we never had room for a piano, or much else. In 9 days time we take possession of our first home. It is a gift for my husband for his birthday.
