<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> You are right about the model number codes. The YC model numbers are preceeded by the letters TG so that Bergmann's model is a BTG-185. Serial numbers for both Chinese built Webers and YCs are preceeded by the letters CG. I'm doing a QRS pianomation  install today on theYC  BTG 175 and the serial number is CG 0009096 and tomorrow I'm installing in a Weber WG150 serial number CG 0009427. It's difficult to imagine what the CG stands for. (Oh my god I'm ending a sentence witha preposition) I now have the pianomation install time down to a six hour process by removing the keybed. I also install an Altec 5 speaker surround sound system in each piano. Pianodisc requires about 2 addional hours.

Without looking at the fallboard I cannot tell the difference between the the two (other than the Weber has brass caps on the bottom of the leg).</blockquote>   Here's how you identify where each Weber model is made. All of them are Young Changs, but if it is a Chinese model, the model # has a two letter/three digit model number - as in WG-150. If it is Korean made, it has a two letter/two digit model # - as in WG-50. If it is one of the Special Edition models, it has a three letter/two digit model# - as in WSG-50.  The only model unique to the Weber line is the WG-57 (a Korean built 5'7" - YC offers a 5'9" model) and the WSG-57, which is Korean built also. In Korea, the Weber Special Edition models are sold as Weber Prambergers. I found the Korean website for them once, but can no longer seem to locate it. The Reiger Kloss line is no longer made.   Larry</blockquote> </html>
