Hello List,

A 7-foot Samick grand is being offered for sale in my area for $3,300.  I
haven't had the chance to examine it yet (I hope to do so tomorrow), but I
might purchase this piano for my wife.  The seller has informed me that it
is 11 years old, in excellent condition, with walnut finish.  Sorry, I don't
know the model number, but I assume it is a WFG 215.

In my limited experience as a technician, I've tuned only one Samick grand,
a very small one.  It was not an impressive instrument, but then again baby
grands in general don't sound very good, IMO.  If anyone has any comments
about the larger Samick grands, please reply to the list or contact me
privately.

Does anybody know the current list price for the WFG 215?  Also, doesn't
Samick own a whole bunch of other piano companies?  I can't keep track of
who owns what these days.

Thank you,
