Fwd: Hsinghai baby grand piano

[baoli liu]

Hi Avery,

HsingHai( or Xinghai) is the oldest piano factory in
China,located in Beijing.
More than 30 years ago,Hsinghai mainly made upright
pianos,so I would guess this baby grand is a specially
made one.I don't know much about this piano because I
had never seen a 30 years Hsinghai baby grand.

here is a webpage of XingHai,hope it helps.
