Just got my  Feb issue of the Music Trades Mag.  It has a multi page spread 
on the  Mason & Hamlin and a pic of the underside of the new "CC". with a  
DOUBLE Centripetal Tension Resonator in place.  Since I have NEVER  seen an 
old M&H CC I wonder for those of you who have, did the  originals have a 
single ones like all the rest?   I have been  turned on by M&H's since my 
beginning in 1962 and used to own a 20's  "A' till, the big D hit in 1999. 
Today I have a "A' from the Aeolian years  to tune and has been a client for 
many years now.


James,
 
During the Aeolian years the 9' M and H had a single tension resonator,  
unless my memory is faulty here.
 
When I first got into the piano biz in 1978 or so, that was the first piano  
I fell in love with.  It was the first piano I saw when I walked in the  front 
door every day.  The owner got pissed at me because I used to come in  early 
to play the piano--instead of work!
 
The City of Palo Alto bought it for 12,000 dollars!  While pianos made  by 
Aeolian at that period had many flaws, they had that incredibly resonant  Mason 
sound.  I am looking forward to the CA conference!
