I was busy and hoping someone else would do this. The Sojin name was owned by Daewoo, a large Korean trading company. They stopped making Sojin pianos around 1993. (Around the same time, they bought an interest in the German piano maker Ibach and started making Ibach pianos in Korea, but after a brief start, decided against distributing them in the U.S.) Contrary to what someone posted earlier, Sojin and Daewoo had no connection with Samick that I am aware of. I am investigating how to contact Daewoo America for warranty service (lots needed, I'm sure). I will post it in a few days when I find out. Larry Fine
