<DIV><FONT size=2>I sell Hallet Davis pianos and have tuned many of
them. They are rather tunable, but the touch weight is
heavy. I could be wrong, but I don't think they were made by
Samic. </FONT></DIV>

Grand</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>I received a call regarding a 10-year-old Hallett Davis grand with serial
number DG03170, supposedly brand new in 2002, that the caller is interested in
buying. I don't have access to my Pierce Atlas at the moment. I
found and have reviewed a website for this maker, but would like to know more
about who builds these pianos and where, relative quality, etc. Can
anyone assist me with info? I'm thinking this is an Indonesian- or
Chinese-made piano with old American name? Is the company still
American-owned, or are they owned by Samick or Young Chang or someone like
that?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance for any information.</DIV>
