Pastor Fowler I serviced Sojin Grands for a dealer when they were selling them a few years ago. The piano construction seemed more for the cosmetics than durability. Everything was clean and neat, assembled with attention to appearance. I found most of the grands to be voiced on the bright side. It took some work to bring this down but it could be done and a more pleasant tone was achieved. They tended to get brassy sounding when played loud. Probably a different set of hammers would help here. They seemed to hold up to domestic use, but when played a lot, the maintenance went way up. Much more regulating and pedal repairs than I thought to be normal. In my opinion, if you intend to use the piano only two or three times weekly for a few pieces a music, it should do fine. But I wouldn't recommend it for choir accompaniment, long rehearsals or long heavy use for services.
