   << Yes, the company you are referring to is Samick (is there another
playing this game?). The irony of their attempt to make a laminated panel
appear to be solid (and beautifully quarter cut at that) is that the
laminated panels they use are 100% spruce, with all laminations made from
quartered stock (of the ones I have inspect - out of the piano). While many
of these pianos produce a tone which is less than desirable, I don't believe
it is the laminated panel which is causing the problem. It's the numerous
other piano manufacturing factors which they choose to ignore. >>

  The one I saw had what looked like mahogany in the middle layer (or some
kind of reddish dark wood). It might have been made by samick, but the
stenciled brand was "Klavier" (I guess just to make it sound German :-)  ).
