New Essex from S&S

That's a rather sad comment for Steinway uprights considering that 
the Essex is really a Young Chang vertical made in S. Korea.

I imagine though that a lot of people will be intrigued with the 
appeal of getting a piano sold by Steinway in a realistic price 
range...sort of reminds me of the parable of the King in the parade 
with no clothes on, the little boy called it as he saw it.
