Hi Avery, HsingHai( or Xinghai) is the oldest piano factory in China,located in Beijing. More than 30 years ago,Hsinghai mainly made upright pianos,so I would guess this baby grand is a specially made one.I don't know much about this piano because I had never seen a 30 years Hsinghai baby grand. here is a webpage of XingHai,hope it helps. http://www.xinghai-piano.com/english/info.html Baoli Liu,RPT School of Music, University of Wisconsin-Madison --- Avery Todd <atodd@UH.EDU> wrote: > List, > > This came in through our Website.
