essex grand

[Kerry Cooper]

I saw the Essex grand being made at the Young Chang Factory last May while
on the IAPBT tour of the Samick and Young Chang factories.

The info I have is that the Essex was made by Young Chang until SMC bought
Young Chang.  At that time S&S switched to a Chineese Manufacturer.  I was
told that they were switching back to YC in Korea but have not been able to
confirm it.

I thought Essex was made in Korea - now they're making them in China?

At a local Guild meeting at the local Steinway dealer, we were presented
with a new Essex, Chinese-style, for evaluation.  Very impressive, with a
smooth transition scale, large beams and massive rim structure.   Quick
tune, out of the box, no voicing, sounded very nice.  Nicest Chinese piano
I've seen yet.  I don't know the price of the piano we saw.
