[CAUT] Sohmer (Korea) opinions

[Paul T Williams]

I won't be sure if it's a Sohmer & Co or not until I see it tomorrow for 
an evaluation.  It's a 6'2" grand.  The fellow at the church said they can 
buy it at $12,900.  I have no idea what the retail is for such a beast, 
but it sounds like a good price.  They would rather have a Yamaha, but the 
funding isn't there....

When you mention Sohmer-Korea, you have to be a little more specific. 
 There are two different Sohmer lines made in Korea:

Samick makes them under license from  the Burgetts.  The fallboard says, 
"Sohmer & Co."

Royale makes them, citing that the Burgetts' trademark expired.  The 
fallboard says, "Sohmer."

This, from Piano Book Supp. 2007-2008.

Hi List, 

I got a call from a local church asking about the new Sohmers made in 
Korea, but I have not seen/heard one, so I'm asking for your humble 
opinions.  What are your experiences with them? Positives and negatives? 

Thanks in advance!
