[CAUT] Hazelton Bros NY 5'6" grand

[Gregory.Granoff at humboldt.edu]

If it's actually vintage--say '20s, you're likely to be pleasantly surprised if it has any of its original sound left.
Knew of one locally for years that was actually a very good piano.  Had that combo clarity, power and sweetness in the treble and smoothness of tenor/bass transition area one associates with more high-end makes. The uprights of that era that I've seen were definitely several cuts above the average as well.

Entry-level quality, by Samick. I'm not impressed.

Mornin' all. 

Does anyone know about the Hazelton Brothers piano co? A church here in Lincoln is selling one for $2,500 all refinished, but haven't looked at it yet. Might consider it for a practice room or something. Not sure of the year made, so it could be a Kohler and Campbell or a Samick. I've never seen one. 

Thanks
