Dave, at the Chicago session on Pearl River, Dave Campbell said that they have a relationship with Yamaha which is a JV (joint venture) through the Chinese Government. Yamaha/Pearl River lead the JV. They have the common ground of building pianos in (and sometimes for) a tropical climate. That's what my notes say, anyway. Probably other know a lot more about this.
