Mason & Risch

The Mason & Risch piano company dates back to the late 1800’s. They were among the earliest piano makers in Canada. They grew to become a giant of the Canadian piano industry producing more pianos than any other company.

Their motto "Great Is The Privilege Of Achievement" reflected the craftsmanship of the company. The upright pianos that Mason & Risch produced from the turn of the century into the 1920’s stand as a fine examples of the best of the piano makers art. The pianos of this era featured fine cabinetry. Many of their uprights had full agraffes right up to the last note in the treble section. This is a feature that is normally only found in grand pianos and they are usually only found in the mid section of the piano. The only other uprights that I have ever seen with full agraffes are Bechstein (made in Germany) and some of the Heintzmans made in the last few years of production.

The early Mason & Risch company also made good quality grand pianos. There were many, many Canadian piano makers through the years, but out of all of them, only Heintzman, Nordheimer and Mason & Risch made really good quality grand pianos. Heintzman & Company was widely recognised as the top grand piano maker in the country.

In 1948 Mason & Risch was bought by Winter & Company which was a division of the American giant, Aeolian Mfg

Serial Numbers
Mason & Risch pianos often have a second serial number stamped into the soundboard to the left of the action. This is usually the serial number that will give the correct age of the piano. Note the Sterling Action logo on the hammer rail. Sterling was owned by Mason & Risch. This logo is an indication that this piano came from their parent company.

Mason & Risch also produced pianos under - Canadian Piano Company, Cameo, Cecilian, Chopin, Classic, Eaton, Gerhard, Ennis, Haddon Hall, Henry F Miller, Henry Herbert, Harmonic, Homer, Kreisler, New Scale Williams, Mozart, Schubert, Steinbach and Sterling. They also distributed Hallet & Davis, Harrington, Kranch & Bach, Mehlin & Son, Preston and Wadsworth
