It got cold here, too. I actually had to put on a blanket last night when the temperature dipped down to 65. (Sorry, guys, just couldn't resists.)

Yes Mike that was by Sejung <http://www.sejungusa.com/>. Why does it have the look of Samick? When they set up shop in China they "hired dozens of manufacturing managers who had once worked for Young Chang and Samick." (quoted from Larry Fine's 2007-2008 Annual Supplement). Good luck!

I looked it up on the PTG site and it's listed as being licensed to Sejung(?) whoever that is. My question is, is that who was building them 4 or 5 years ago. I know Young Chang was at one point, for PianoDisc but this has the look of a Samick (the legs and lyre bolt on with a 3/8" hex drive bolt). Anyone know for sure? There is no follow up from the dealer they set up temporary shop in the local mall for a few months every so often and they are one of those "quality" dealers that actually remove the pianos from the boxes before they sell them!!!!
