Uniquely American,
Unquestionably World-Class
At 5’8.5”, the Virtuoso X Series Model A is widely considered to be the world’s best grand piano under 6 feet. Full of expression, character, and exquisite beauty, the VX Model A provides unmatched volume, tone, and projection in its class, with sound quality and depth comparable to instruments of much greater size. This elegant, high performance piano is the perfect combination of size and sound for professional studios, conservatories, and institutions, just as much as it is suited for the home.
Virtuoso X Series
The Mason & Hamlin Virtuoso X Series represents the pinnacle of over 165 years of craftsmanship, innovation, and technology. The experience gained through continuous refinement and innovation has allowed us to create a piano designed for the highest degree of performance, and is the result of developing new state-of-the-art features and substantially building upon others. The core of these updated features merges the impressive legacy of the Crown Retention System with our new Action Retention System, resulting in a piano that preserves both its tone and dynamic range, as well as the touch and feel of its action over the course of an entire century.
