I serviced one about 15 years ago. It was made in Sweden. I have the paper work for the patent on this thing. I brought this info up on the Internet about 3 years ago, and a tech in Sweden knows where the other piano is. The sound of the piano is very much like a steel drum band from the Caribbean. Very interesting. I took some pictures of the piano, but someone stole the camera before I could develop the pictures. Willem Blees
