I tuned one this afternoon. serial # DG14414. Stamped "Made in China" . Fairly new piano but the pinblock felt like play dough. And the regulation was completely off. I had to cheat with the glide bolts to make it playable for now, but it needs a couple of days' work. Jean-Luc, RPT 1/18/2012 7:58:57 P.M.

I could be wrong, but I don't think they were made by Samic.

I don't have access to my Pierce Atlas at the moment. I found and have reviewed a website for this maker, but would like to know more about who builds these pianos and where, relative quality, etc. Can anyone assist me with info? I'm thinking this is an Indonesian- or Chinese-made piano with old American name? Is the company still American-owned, or are they owned by Samick or Young Chang or someone like that? Thanks in advance for any information.
