Rick, The quick way to tell the manufacturer is to note the model number. A Wurlitzer grand starting with "G" (as in G411) would be built by Young Chang. A piano with a "C" (as in C143) model number would be built by Samick. Either way, once the manufacturer sells the piano to the distributor, it's their baby. I can't imagine going back to Kawai on a Boston problem or previously Young Chang, and now the Chinese supplier, on an Essex. It might be worth giving Thomas Malone at Baldwin/Gibson a call just to see if they will cover it before moving forward. Obviously this isn't a moisture problem if you've concentrated heat in this area and it keeps worsening. There is another problem afoot so examining the pin and the felt under a hand lens may provide some answers as to the cause. I hope this helps, Allan Allan L.
