>Ya'll, > >I tuned a relatively new piano today. It was called a "Pearl River". Does >anyone know who makes this dog? Pearl River Piano Company! Although they've only recently started importing into the US, they've been around for quite awhile. I think they're the largest piano manufacturer in China, but I would defer to Liu Baoli or Tony Caught on that, as I'm sure they would know. "Pearl River" is a direct translation of the name of one of China's major rivers (Zhu Jiang); the corporate name of the manufacturer is Guangzhou Piano Ltd. (Guangzhou being the name of the southern province with the booming economy, the major city Guangdong ((aka Canton)), etc. ). Pearl River is one of the sources of "stencil pianos" which have been discussed on the list recently. I suggest you contact Pearl River America and give them some feedback (address, phone # etc. are in recent PTJournal advertisements). Patrick Draine
