[pianotech] Hallett Davis Grand

[Jlmatt at aol.com]

I tuned one this afternoon. serial # DG14414. Stamped "Made in China" . 
Fairly new piano but the pinblock felt like play dough. And the regulation  
was completely off. I had to cheat with the glide bolts to make it playable 
for  now, but it needs a couple of days' work.

Paul,
 
I sell Hallet Davis pianos and have tuned many of  them.   They are rather 
tunable, but the touch weight is  heavy.   I could be wrong, but I don't 
think they were made by  Samic.

I received a call regarding a 10-year-old Hallett Davis grand with  serial 
number DG03170, supposedly brand new in 2002, that the caller is  interested 
in buying.  I don't have access to my Pierce Atlas at the  moment.  I found 
and have reviewed a website for this maker, but would  like to know more 
about who builds these pianos and where, relative quality,  etc.  Can anyone 
assist me with info?  I'm thinking this is an  Indonesian- or Chinese-made 
piano with old American name?  Is the  company still American-owned, or are 
they owned by Samick or Young Chang or  someone like that?


Thanks in advance for any information.
