 Re: Chinese manufacturing major name instruments now

It's only a matter of time before the Chinese will be producing instruments that are every bit as good as French, German, or Japanese.

While the instruments may be inferior now, the quality and workmanship will improve quickly.

And my guess is the price points will be much lower than at present.

I know that Steinway is manufacturing pianos (their lower price points) in China. I own an upright piano (Pearl River) that I bought new for $3000 and it plays great and the action is every bit as good as higher priced piano.

Since Selmer is owned by Steinway, it would make sense for them to expand their operations in China - not only to sell into the Chinese market, but to produce instruments at a cheaper price.
