[pianotech] What of the NEW "Falcones"?

[Paul McCloud]

Hi, Thumpe:
We used to sell them a few years ago, but they weren't hand built any more than any other Chinese piano.  I think they were made by American Sejung.  I thought they were decent for the price.  Authentic?  Well, based upon my experience, that's a bit of a stretch.  Sounds like typical sales BS.  Sorry you lost out on your sale.

I know they are not his own hand-built ones of great quality; but are they good, bad, or even worse than bad? An honest opinion would be appreciated, because I just lost a sale to a regional dealer who seems to be representing these as the "authentic", hand-made Falcones of yore! (Grrrrrrr!!!) And would ike to avoid this in the future. 

Thanks!
