I had a customer once who had an Otto Altenburg and they had been told by the salesman that this was the last piano made entirely in the US. dp David M.

Read the recent book "Grand Obsession" by Perri Knize if you have any doubt about their integrity.

A customer of mine once told me she had a Bosendorfer, only find a Kimbaldofer in her living room. For those of you who don't know what a Kmbaldorfer is, it's a Kimball grand designed like a Bosey, but built in French Lick, by American Craftsman. (Whoops, those were made in Memphis). But you get the picture.

Guy kept telling me it was made by Bosendorfer. Guy was a lunatic. Sure looked and sounded like a Korean piano to me. Ten years old. Where was this paino made?
