Sherman Clay piano

[Sy Zabrocki]

Some Sherman Clay pianos were manufactured by Sojin which is no longer in
business. The Pierce Atlas lists indicates the Serial No. GO16665 as being
built in 1986. A customer here has a Sherman Clay grand and was totally
unaware is was a Korean piano. He bought in San Francisco and was not told
it was foreign.
