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! Patrick Draine 8 inches of snow overnight; a half dozen hardy surfers sighted off the Nahant Causeway on my way back from this morning's tuning On Sat, Feb 23, 2008 at 2:38 PM, Michael Magness <IFixPianos at yahoo.com> wrote: I was called to tune a 4, possibly 5 Year old George Steck grand, about a 5 footer, model GS-62, Serial GJ8143 and discovered a large crack?just left of?center in the sounding board, 33" long and large enough to see through, even?with 32% humidity in the home. 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!!!!

Thanks Patrick, we've actually had 5 snowless days this week, 55 inches for the winter so far only 10 more for 10th snowiest winter ever bragging rights! We've also had our share of cold, only -4 below 0 this morning a veritable heat wave with a forecast of 26 for a high today! Last weekend when the ski jumping championships were running in nearby Westby, WI the windchills were in the 25 to 30 below 0 range but it didn't slow the ski jumpers down with 6 inches of fresh powder!! ?
