| My understabnding is there are 4 piano manufacturing
| facilities in mainland China, 2 produce junk, and 2 produce adequate
| pianos due to investments, materials and production standards brought in
| by experienced European and North American firms.

Reminds me of a story I read about 20 years ago.. about an ICBM missile
plant in China that was surrounded by a refrigerator plant. Went by a name
like Happy Red Star Ice Box Company.
