Rieger-Kloss was our best selling upright. They are european, relatively inexpensive when compared with other euro pianos, and they have a nice, warm sound. Most of the problems I encountered with them were pretty minor and easily fixable. Like Paul stated, there were sometimes false beats in the treble. I had a couple where the keyslip was warped. Definitely not the same quality control as Yamaha or Kawai, but I've found that these pianos have far more character than their Japanese or Korean counterparts(totally subjective input.....) As far as I know, Weber bought them. I'm surprised to hear that they were purchased by Bechstein. Quality control will improve, but price undoubtedly won't!
