Hi Wim, You are right! I just wanted to slam YC! How'd I do?! I do hope they don't buy Steinway, though. Enjoy wonderful Hawaii! We are going through fall around here...cold weather soon to hit! Joy!

I hope Young Chang doesn't purchase them. Those pianos are the pits...no, the bottom of the pits! You have to CA the tuning pins on NEW Young Changs! Joy! Elwood - Even if YC does buy Steinway Musical Instruments, I don't think the quality of Steinway will go down to the YC level. The opposite will happen. Look at what happened when Kimball bought Bosendorfer. The Bosy's quality didn't go down. Instead Kimball made the Kimbaldorfer grands, which were a slight improvement over their previous models.

Interesting that Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. is now based in Waltham, MA, home town of Kurzweil Music Systems (now owned by Young Chang). Their recent history of acquisitions is interesting. http://www.steinwaymusical.com/content/about_us.htm Who knew what a power they are in band instruments? http://www.steinwaymusical.com/brands.php -Mark Schecter Oakland, CA On 10/24/11 7:42 PM, David Skolnik wrote: > Dear Old List, > I hope the notice doesn't totally preempt the more useful discussions > going on, but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
