Actually, Bobby, they're already in production and coming out of mainland
China under the name of "Pear River". Any time now they're going to change
over to the name Kimball and no one will ever know that Kimball is gone.
In case you don't recognize the name "Pearl River", it's more commonly re-
ferred to by the name of a Chinese boat: junk. Kimball may be gone, but
it's reputation lives on. Why would any dealer want to stock a piano similar
in quality to a Kimball?

So what is wrong with the Vienese edition Grand piano. If you compare it with
out inexpensive grands it is very competitive.


my reply:  Nothing, if you don't mind a piano that sounds and plays like
these do.
I got to go with Les on this one. I won't work  on them,either.
