[pianotech] Fire Strikes Pleyel Piano Factory






I just heard about this:
 
France's last manufacturer of pianos was devastated by an overnight blaze 
at its factory in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris. About 40 pianos 
were destroyed, including 10 custom-designed instruments, with total 
damage estimated at €5 million. All models and designs survived intact 
(as did Pleyel's technicians), and the company expects to resume 
production in the spring. Le Monde 02/12/09 (in French).
