Letter from Martin Kasík

Dear Mr. Farley,

I would like to thank you for the great experience with your [1914] Mason & Hamlin [CC1] concert grand. Very rarely [does] one play an instrument that has all the[se] qualities: inspiring sound in every register, singing quality, dynamic possibilities as well as responsive and easy mechanics.

I am sure that this instrument would be a wonderful asset of any prime concert hall.

With all my respect and best wishes,

Martin Kasík
