Falcone (Chinese) pianos

[AlliedPianoCraft]

To add my 2 cents. A local Steinway dealer sells them and asked my to check them out. 

There is certainly no quality standard. Out of 4 pianos on the floor no two were alike. Bright, dead, no where and all in need of some kind of work (action, dampers etc.). Other than that, another Chinese piano.
