How to find the age of a Mason & Hamlin Piano

Use the following chart of Mason & Hamlin serial numbers to help determine the age of your piano. The serial number of your Mason & Hamlin piano can be found in several locations, depending on what model of Mason & Hamlin you are trying to date.

Mason & Hamlin Serial Number Locations

1. Model B, A, AA and BB grand pianos

  • First, sit at your piano like you are playing it.
  • Then look into the piano plate and to the left of the centre of the piano. There should be a serial number stamped under the letters “B”, “A”, “AA”, “BB”. The letter will depend on which Mason & Hamlin model you are looking at.

2. Model 50 Upright Mason & Hamlin

You need to lift the lid of the piano and look for the serial number. This will be stamped on the plate of the piano. If you do not find the serial number in this location look for an oval opening in the plate, just left of the centre of the piano. This opening will be backed with a piece of wood. The number stamped in the wood will be the serial number.
