Now I'm quoting Ancott, and these are MSRP. I realize dealers are willing to come down form these prices. But for comparison sake, lets keep them at regular retail. Looking at 50" to 52" studios, in order, from least expensive. Pearl River 51 $3490 China Krakauer 50 $3500 China Bergman 52 $3590 China Ritmuller 51 $3920 China Weber 52 $4880 China Kohler & Campbell 52 $5390 S.Korea Samick 52 $5390 S.Korea Hyundai 52 $5598 S.Korea Hallet & Davis 52 $5680 S. Korea Young Chang 52 $5990 S.Korea Story & Clark 53 $5990 China Reiger Kloss 50 $6790 Czech Weinbach 50 $7100 Czech Seidle & Sons 50 $7236 Czech Petrof 50 $7500 Czech Kawai 50 $7790 Japan Pramberger 52 $9390 SKorea Schulze Pullman 50 $9900 Itally Petrof 52 $10018 Czech Baldwin 52 $10310 US Kawai 52 $10490 Japan Yamaha 52 $10790 Japan Boston 52 $11540 Japan Schimmel 52 $18,200 Germany Now which one of the South Korea, other than the Pramberger Series, are, in your opinion, of the same quality than the Japanese, or Czech products. I would grant that the Pramberger series is probably of the same quality, but I have not had any experience with that model. But then the price is right up there with the other pianos.
