Glenn, and others interested, Yes, the pianos at Sam's Club here are also marked "Conover-Cable". But they're still Asian produced, and, as I stated originally, the crate is stamped "Made in Indonesia". The plate is identical in its molding style to the Young Chang consoles I have seen. No doubt several Asian companies buy their plates from the same foundry. Does anyone know which piano manufacturers have plants in Indonesia? The manager here let me put my business cards on top of the piano. Each time I have gone back they were all gone; I replaced them. Have gone through over 75 now, but no calls. If they feel the touch of and hear the sound of the display piano and think that I tuned and regulated it, they will never call me. Nor will they ever buy it. I really do need to visit the manager again and try to sell him on the need for "dealer prep". It would be better to pay me $150 than to knock the price down $500. Will keep you posted.
