Dean Garten is their Tech. rep. now. I believe they >used to own/distribute Horugel Pianos. Sorry I don't have their number. > >Doug Hershberger Horugal was an early Korean imported piano. It was made by Samick, before Samick imprted them directly. The company that imported them and distributed them was Specialty Piano Imports in Vienna Virginia. They're out of business. We had purchased 3 to try them out in the '70's and found them to be horrible-exchanged two of them for full credit in later years. When the warranty problems surfaced during the supposed warranty period we contacted Specialty Piano Imports only to find them defunct. We recalled that Bill McCormick was the president of Specialty Piano Imports and knew he was also the president of Jordan Kits in Maryland. Contacting him proved fruitless. We were told "that business was closed and I/we're not liable for any warranty repairs-sorry" Jordan Kits phone number is: 301-474-9500 Samick also disavowed any responsabilty for the warranty since they were only the O.E.M. supplier. Whether or not they'd have parts available for these early instruments I don't know. Hope this sheds some light and maybe saves some time. Glenn Grafton Grafton Piano & Organ Co. (215)723-6900
