Maybe it is "assembled in Kenosha"? If it was made in France, I
would assume it would be MUCH more cost effective and a better
product would result from an instrument that big being shipped
in parts and assembled here instead of assembled in France, and
then having to be overhauled to an extent AGAIN once it got here
anyway. People costs are the majority of the cost of an
instrument anyway.

Don't get me wrong...don't quote me on where it is assembled. I
have no idea where they assemble it...was just putting out an
idea here..."MADE" in France could still be "ASSEMBLED" in the
USA.
