Manufacturing costs

[FIXPIANOS@AOL.COM]

Does anyone have any information regarding he breakdown of costs associated 
with piano manufacturing? Specifically, I'm interested in knowing what 
percentage individual components contribute to the overall cost to make a 
piano. For instance: a set of hammers = x% of the total, the case = y%, the 
soundboard = z%. Please feel free to be as specific or as general as you are 
able. I'd love a breakdown of each individual part but am just as happy to 
know about the whole action or the entire case.

Several manufacturers who I wrote to called this information "privileged" or 
"confidential" and therefore wouldn't help me.

Thanks.
