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.... pw <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Cliff Lesher <lesher@dejazzd.com> Sent by: caut-bounces@ptg.org 03/19/2008 10:25 PM <table border> <tr valign=top> <td bgcolor=white> <div align=center>Please respond to College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org></div></table> <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td>College and University Technicians <caut@ptg.org> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>Re: [CAUT] Sohmer (Korea) opinions</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> 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.

Positives and negatives? Thanks in advance! Paul T. Williams RPT Univ. of Nebraska, Lincoln
