Lance: If you are referring to Posey, they went belly up (pun intended) a couple of years ago. There was some noise about someone buying the equipment and starting a new plant nearby (in a building from a never finished Nuclear power plant!) but I haven't heard any more about it. At one of the auctions of their stuff I purchased a pile of letters to and from Posey from the early 1900's. Beautiful letterheads! Most were complaints about soundboards falling apart before they ever got installed in a piano.
