This piano is a little over 10 years old, but rarely played. Purchased for my wife who was to learn, she never did. Played a few times by guests (who raved about the wonderful sound), but that is about it. The instrument is beautiful in sound and appearance.
The piano has resided in an air conditioned space, with proper humidity control. It is in excellent playing condition. Every couple of years we would have it tuned.
The piano is available for shipping anywhere in the US, with the winning bidder making the arrangements to ship. I will help wherever I can with these arrangements. Of course local pick is welcomed. We reside in Chester Springs, PA 19425 (about 45 minutes west of Philly).

Other-Comments = This piano was purchased around 1997-8 (can't remember exactly) for my wife, who was supposed to learn how to play, but never did (at least yet). The piano has been played less than 5 times by piano playing guests to our home. We are thinking of selling and purchasing a smaller, upright piano with a computer, so at least we can hear it played. This piano has been tuned at least 2 times, perhaps 3. The finish, which is like a red mahogany or cherry (not sure which) >>mahogany is in virtually perfect condition. The house has been air conditioned, with proper humidity for the whole time we have owned the piano.

MANUFACTURER:
Samick was founded by Hyo Ick Lee in 1958 as a Baldwin distributor in Inchon, Korea. In the early 1960s, Lee began to build and sell a very limited quantity of upright pianos using mostly imported parts. In 1964, Lee expanded his operation, began exporting to other parts of the world and making most of the parts in-house. By 1989 Samick established Samick USA in the City of Industry, California. In 1995, Samick opened a factory in Indonesia for the production of pianos and guitars. By 1997, production of pianos in the USA moved to Indonesia. Samick Musical Instrument Mfg. Co. has become one of the world's largest piano manufacturers. In 2002 Samick and C. Bechstein, a major European piano manufacturer, each acquired a financial interest in the other and agreed to cooperate on technical issues and marketing. In 2004 Samick reorganized as Samick Music Corp (SMC). Names used on pianos made by Samick have included: Kohler & Campbell, Conover Cable, Otto Altenburg, Charles Albrecht, Schultz & Sons, Wurlitzer (grands for Baldwin starting in 1996), Horugel, Stegler, Story & Clark grands, Schubert, Schumann, Alex.
