While working at the George Prince melodeon factory in Buffalo, Emmons Hamlin discovered a way to voice organ reeds to imitate other instruments such as the clarinet, violin, etc. Having perfected this method, Emmons Hamlin went into partnership with Henry Mason to form the partnership of “Mason & Hamlin” in 1854 (not to be confused with the “E. Mason” brand built by Jacob Doll in the 20th Century). Mason & Hamlin started out with very limited capital, but their determination to only build the finest instruments possible met with almost instant success. Mason & Hamlin entered the field by building their “Organ Harmonium”, a reed-operated instrument with the rich ability to mimic several instruments of the orchestra based on Emmons Hamlin’s reed-voicing method. After the success of their “Organ Harmonium”, the firm produced an instrument called the “American Cabinet Organ”, an instrument that won the firm a world-wide reputation and highest possible honors anywhere it was exhibited. Mason & Hamlin enjoyed substantial success with their endeavors, and the firm quickly grew and expanded its product line of organs and melodeons. Mason & Hamlin began manufacturing pianos in 1881. Like their organs, the Mason & Hamlin piano was an instant success and was deemed a superior instrument. Mason & Hamlin introduced several manufacturing innovations, including the patented “Screw-Stringer” mechanism and “Tensions Resonator” system which set their pianos apart from the competition. Mason & Hamlin continued to enjoy great success during the early 20th Century. Mason & Hamlin pianos were popular in concert halls, churches and universities where they endured harsh and constant use. Mason & Hamlin was absorbed into the giant Aeolian-American Corporation in 1930 due to the Great Depression. Aeolian continued to use “Mason & Hamlin” as it’s flagship model and Mason & Hamlin continued to be a superior instrument throughout the 20th Century. Mason & Hamlin was sold a few subsequent times during the late 20th Century, and in 1996 the firm was sold to Gary and Kirk Burgett of PianoDisc. Mason & Hamlin instruments are once again being built as a superior instrument, reflecting the vision of the original founders more than 150 years ago."
