<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a client w/ a Schafer & Sons=
studio
piano. It is about 10-12 years old, and has recently developed bass stri=
ng
breakage. The strings have been breaking at the upper capo- right at the=
side brng. pin. I think the mfg, should make this right for the customer=
.
Unfortunately, I think the mfg. is out of business as I cannot find any
current info. Some of these were made by Young Chang. Anyone with up to =
date
info on this piano? I think they were made in Ca. originally.</FONT></DI=

<DIV>Hi Jon,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This one could have been built by Samick or a Young
Chang. Whoever built it, I doubt that this problem would be covered =
by
manufacturer's warranty, especially if the warranty is for 10 years. =
Figuring out who built the piano is the first step to getting new strings,=
whether they're covered under warranty or not. </DIV>
