Sorry to tell you, but she has a Dae Woo upright piano.

Greetings all --
 
A bit of a curiosity here that perhaps one, or more, of you can shed some 
light on.
 
Shafer & Sons WG-5 upright
sn: 810168 (There are no letters preceding the serial number.)
Pierce says 1985, BUT the dealers invoice for the purchase is dated 1981. 
And, she and the dealer invoice both claim that she bought it "new". 
 
Also, at least two wound bass strings are mismatched and there are two philip 
head screws in the soundboard, along the grain and about 8" apart, right in 
the middle of the bass section. Since the mismatched strings are buzzing I'm 
going to be replacing both pairs.
 
She has never had any strings replaced, and except for tuning, has never had 
any work done on it. 
 
So, how much of this description seems unreasonable to you for a new piano? 
Any ideas what's going on? Neither of us have a real problem with any of this. 
Except for the two buzzing strings the piano is very nice and performing well. 
But having found these discrepancies, we're now just curious about what she 
really has.
