I=E2=80=99ve come across a couple of uprights, owned locally by the public s=

district, that are new Schumann=E2=80=99s.  This is the U 822 model, Serial=20=
#HHA01131. =20
As I=E2=80=99ve gone in to tune, I=E2=80=99ve noticed that both have had bas=
s strings broken=20
and repaired, roughly in the same area.  One of them is missing an F2 string=
.  I
=E2=80=99m guessing that these bass strings were broken in the move, or deli=
very.

I=E2=80=99ll order another to replace it with, but I=E2=80=99m curious if 1)=
 this has been=20
an issue that has come up before with the Schumann, 2) who now makes this=20
critter, and 3) where are they manufactured?  By looking at the felts, cabin=
et, and=20
hammers, my guess is that it is a fairly recent model, within the past 8-10=20
years. =20
By the model and serial number, these are Samicks. The Schumann name hasn't=20
been used since the early 90s.
