Gordon, Perhaps you are thinking of the Falcone piano? Santi Falcone started making his pianos in the early 1980s after some years as a retail piano dealer and rebuilder of Steinways (then located in Woburn, MA). After opening a factory in Haverhill MA various difficulties led to him losing the business to his investors. At that point he no longer controlled the brand name "Falcone Piano." After several changes of ownership I believe the Burgett brothers (PianoDisc, Mason & Hamlin) owned the Falcone brand, and sold it to American Sejung, who started making "Falcone pianos" in their Chinese factory. Santi was quite disheartened but ... there was nothing he could do about it. And no, there's no comparison between the original Falcone and the modern one. PS A friend is hoping to sell a 6'1" "real" Falcone if anyone is interested Patrick Draine On 5/16/07, gordon stelter <lclgcnp at yahoo.com> wrote: > ....his name to a Chinese manufacturer, or something. > If so, specifically, if possible, how does the quality > compare, please? > > Thump > > > > > > > ____________________________________________________________________________________ > Moody friends.
