OP lawrai007 Full Member L Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 33 Washington, Connecticut	After a somewhat exhaustive search, I believe I've found the right piano for me; either a new Steinway K-52 or a new Mason&Hamlin, Model 50. Although each one is different (touch, tone, etc.),I like them both! My question is........is one piano a better made instrument than the other? Thank you, in advance, for any comments you wish to share with me; they're much appreciated!.........................Thanks, Larry

The new M&H is the product of several recent( the last 10 years) changes in ownership and manufacturing. The Steinway hasn't changed a lot in over 100 years. But both are really great pianos.
