I can only comment on the Yamaha  Uprights made in the UK the bass 
string are made in the [1] USA the steel strings are German, and the 
scaling is in metric.  80% of production is for export mainly to the 
EEC.  The strong pound would make them expensive for the US market but I 
could be wrong as a lot of Kembles are shipped to the US.

Barrie,

  [1] only the Yamahas made in the UK  have US made base strings and a 
lot of testing was done before Japan allowed it.
