Should he buy the Young Chang?

[Peg Browne]

Hi Jeannie,

Young Chang pianos have come a long way. They are a good and realiable
piano. They do require a little more "out of the box" prepping than the
Japanese pianos, but they can be tuned, regulated and voiced to your
satisfaction. PersonalIy, have never run across any warped key sticks in any
of the Young Chang grands I have serviced or any other wood issues. Since
most customers own their pianos for many years, resale is really not a
consideration. Private parties are always hard pressed to sell their piano
for what they think its worth; their competition always being the dealer. As
for any warranty issues you may have, Young Chang honors their warranty as
good as Kawai and Yamaha. If your customer likes the way the piano sounds
and plays, he'll be getting a good deal.
