                 It's either the dealers middle name, or the name of the
next county, Most of the chinese plants suffer from multiple personality
disorder. So
many different names from the same plant, and none of the workers can read
Roman letters. Most of the plants will put any name that you choose on the
PSO as long as you order a container load. Have fun and games with the key
beds, tuning stability and tone quality is the very least of your potential
problems. Advise your dealer to be very cautious, The few chinese pianos
the we have had, we sold as used instruments. The key bushings needed
redoing from the onset, and some we have had to releather the butts.
  Good luck and have fun
Roger
