In "The Piano Book" (third edition) names used by Samick are Samick,
Hyundai, Kohler & Campbell, D. H. Baldwin, Bernhard Steiner, Otto
Altenburg; no longer used, Horugel, Stegler, Schumann.

The same source says Young Chang uses the names Young Chang, Wagner (no
longer used); also makes pianos sold under the names Wurlitzer, Weber,
Cline, Schafer & Sons, PianoDisc, and Nakamichi (joint venture).

I hope this helps you.
