<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a client w/ a Schafer & So=

studio piano. It is about 10-12 years old, and has recently developed =

string breakage. The strings have been breaking at the upper capo- rig=

with
up to date info on this piano? I think they were made in Ca.

<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 covere=
d by
manufacturer's warranty, especially if the warranty is for 10 years.&nbs=
p;
Figuring out who built the piano is the first step to getting new string=
s,
whether they're covered under warranty or not. </DIV>
