ABOUT
THIS SAMICK PIANO:
Made
in Korea, not China or Indonesia, so it’s a much more expensive
piano than a new Samick. It also happens to be an unusually nice shade
of ivory – an “egg shell” which is almost white. It’s
not a yellowish ivory at all, which is much more common. Residentially
used – and verrrrry lightly at that. Truly mint condition.

ABOUT
SAMICK PIANOS:
Samick
is one of two Korean piano manufacturers who enjoyed enormous global growth
in the 80’s and 90’s as a lesser expensive alternative to
Yamaha and Kawai pianos. At one time, Samick was the largest producer
of pianos…and guitars – but they never became a household
name in the United States, because a large percentage of their musical
instruments were sold under various names that were more familiar to Americans.
In the area of pianos, they made (and in some instances still make) pianos
under familiar names like Baldwin Howard, Chickering, Sohmer, Wurlitzer,
Kohler & Campbell…and Schafer & Sons. The popularity of
Korean-made Samick receded when low-priced Chinese pianos became popular
in the first few years of the new millennium. It is typically agreed upon
that if all other things are equal, a Korean made piano is better than
its contemporary made in China. The price difference between the two would
all but demand it!
