<BR>I have tuned a Sohmer grand piano, which I believe is 6 ' 1", and a Sohm=
er console. I don't know if the scale designs are the same ones used i=
n the American made Sohmer pianos. I have not thoroughly examined them=
, but the factory prep on these is pretty meticulous. My first impress=
ion is that these Korean-made instruments seem quite a bit better than their=
Chinese-made brethren. In fact, they seem like the nicest Korean manu=
factured pianos I've seen. They were easier to tune than practically a=
ny new piano I've tuned recently. The hammers are not made of concrete=
. The actions are well-regulated and function quite the way they shoul=

<BR>Mr. Jolly, have you been involved in this endeavor? If so, good jo=

<BR>Anybody else had any experience with these pianos?
