Hazelton Brothers built extremely high quality, expensive pianos in NY from about 1850-1957, one of the few American piano companies to survive over a century. This beautiful square piano was built by Hazelton Brothers in 1876, a time when more square pianos were being built in America than grand pianos and upright pianos combined.
Hi, all... I'm new to the forums, and I'm very impressed at the level of interest and the discussions that are present here. I'm also one of the many new people that is looking for a new 'entry level' grand piano. I've been looking seriously at a Kohler&Campbell KCG500 (5'1'), but the dealer added a wrinkle - a 5'3' Hazelton Bros. that he says is newly made by Samick/Hyundai, and is made exactly the same as the K&C, but will be new entry level piano, as the K&C will be enhanced and be more expensive. I can't find any information anywhere about this new model. Has anybody heard of this new Hazelton? It has a brighter sound than the K&C, the K&C being more mellow. The dealer says the tech can voice the Hazelton to sound more mellow, if I prefer (which I do). Thanks in advance for any response and help.
