According to this months Music Trades mag, Samick has purchased an =
overwhelming interest in Young_Chang.  Not Baldwin.  Wonder how that =
effects the making of Essex pianos  for Steinway?

  I heard that Samick purchased Young-Chang, and possibly Baldwin.
  Now how is that for a rumour.

    Dave,

    My understanding is that Weber was marketed by Samsung, the Korean =
electronics company, and they stopped the piano business Jan 1, 2004.



    I completed one of theses jobs early this year. I contacted Chad =
Frye at 201 902-0920. He ordered and sent me the brackets with =
instructions (took about 1 month). I sent him an invoice and was =
promptly paid in about 2 weeks.=20



    Chad told me that even though Samsung stopped selling pianos, they =
will continue to honor warranty issues for the next few years at least. =
The previous 800 number is no longer working, but the 201 New Jersey =
number should work.=20



    I have never heard of Samick purchasing Young Chang. Has anyone else =
heard this?

    I am looking forward to doing this job.  I'm sure the customer won't =
be looking forward to it, because Weber is out of business, and the =
phone and fax numbers I've tried are no longer functional.  They honored =
warrantees for awhile, but that time is passed.  And given their current =
state of affairs--Young Chang was just purchased(by Samick, =
right?)--they probably won't be interested in honoring Weber warrantees. =
 Plus they are in the process of moving from WA to CA.  Parts won't be =
available until July 7th, according to the phone message.  =20

    Oh well, as they say, good things are worth waiting for<G>.  =20

    Thanks for all of the input, folks.  Invaluable, as usual!=20

      Hopefully for the customer, it's still within the warranty period.
