And all Ibach grands have been built and are being built in our factory in Schwelm. If there is a grand where the model-no. begins with a "G", than this is not an authentical Ibach, but a plagiat. We regret this very much but from time to time we learn of these things, i.e. pianos being built in Asia. Best regards, Rud. Ibach Sohn i.o.
