Les,

I understand that Samick is coming out with a new "world piano."  Apparently
they were on display at the NAAM Show.   Did any of the subscribers get to
see them?   They are supposed to have solid spruce soundboards, Kluge keys
and Renner actions.    I believe that they just have 7 and 9 ft. models at
this time.
