<< So, if you ask me these difficult questions about those russian piana's,
what do you think I do?
 Right I call Arnie.
 Here's the answer: About a year ago, in Holland, at a place called ROODE,
russian piano parts (probably Jacob Becker, St. Petersburg, Russia, 1841)
were assembled by some dutch entrepeneurs.

Pianos sold in the U.S. under the names Wieler and Sangler & Sohne were
mostly made in Belarus and completed in The Netherlands.  See entry in The
Piano Book.
