Suzuki Pianos

[Jeannie Grassi]

Folks,
Please allow me to quote from Larry Fine's Piano Book Annual Supplement,
2004-2005 regarding Suzuki pianos:

"Suzuki Corporation, ..San Diego.....www.suzukimusic.com.

Suzuki Corporation, the world's largest producer of musical instruments for
education, has entered the acoustic piano business with a line of verticals
and grands made in China by Dongbei.  The pianos feature solid spruce
soundboards, German Delignit pinblocks, and German Roslau strings."

Let's face it...it doesn't matter who owns the company these days....good
chances are some or all of their pianos could be made in China.  I hope this
clears up some of the obvious confusion.

That was probably the label itself that was made in China.  Suzuki have been
making guitars and violins for decades; you should try their 4 cylinder
models!
