When incorrect information gets put up, those of us who know the correct information correct it. This thread, and your post is one of them, is *full* of incorrect information. One of the things many of us do here is watch for incorrect information, and correct it. I know exactly what I'm talking about, and it isn't motivated by any "sales" angle. I'm not in the mood to educate you on the matter, but the fact remains that when you "got back exactly what you paid for it", you realized a monetary loss, unless you sold it the day after you bought it. Or search the archives here for all the previous discussions. If you want the facts about "investment value", get your hands on about 10 years worth of Ancott Directories. Lastly, the Forbes article has been discussed to death, and exposed for what it is - a Steinway sales pitch. I'm not trying to attack you, but I'm not going to *be* attacked either. It is obvious that your knowledge of pianos is rather limited, and you most likely have never even seen more than a couple of Nordiskas in your life. In baby grands, there is nothing wrong with a Hallet Davis or a Nordiska. And your experience is?Īnd the basis for your expertise in this area comes from.where? You may prefer to accept and reject pianos by merely lumping the entire product line of the brand together, but I don't. We'll chalk it up to your short time here. I also have a reputation for not putting up with sales spin, which makes your accusation rather funny. I *do* have a 4 or 5 year track record here of knowing what I'm talking about, and 30+ years experience as a technician and rebuilder.

#Samick piano isag0141 update
I'm afraid you need to go back and update your information. The only things on their list that appreciate faster than Steinways are classic cars and famous paintings. Forbes did a study and found that the average Steinway appreciates by 14% above inflation year after year. Unlike cars, good pianos keep their value once they leave the showroom. I played on the Yamaha grand for one whole year, sold it, and got back exactly what I paid for it. When I bought my Yamaha I did not plunker down money to throw it into the wind. Not only are they investments, good pianos are GOOD investments. Nordiska is another in a long line of mediocre pianos. They have a distinct lesser quality for many reasons.Īre you a dealer? What you said sure sounds like salesman talk. These are called private label pianos, or stencil pianos, or house brand pianos.
Kohler & Campbell is a brand of piano that is built and then sold to a distributor and is sold to a dealer. Larry, I'm afraid you are poorly misinformed. All pianos, regardless of brand, will depreciate at about the same rate, in relation to how much you paid, how much a new one like it costs, and what kind of condition yours is in when you try to sell it. Your return on your investment comes from the pleasure you derive from ownership. These pianos are built in China, but the build quality is just fine, and the instruments are far more musical than the Korean products. But there are far better choices than either Samick *or* Young Chang for the money. Personal preference is the main difference, as well as the dealer's skill level and committment to quality service. They used to have some of their product line built by Samick, but that is no longer the case.Īs baby grands go, as long as you don't go under a 5'1, Samicks are as good as any Young Chang has to offer. Story & Clark is a separate company with no connection to Samick at all located in Senaca, PA. They use different materials, and a different scale design. Kohler & Campbell is a brand name owned by Samick and the pianos are different from the Samick line, making then a distinct line unto themselves, not a "private label" brand. And I'm basing my statement on years of experience and hundreds upon hundreds of pianos, not on a few short exposures during shopping. I've sold products from both companies, and the build quality is very similar. No, Samick pianos do not "stink", any more than a Young Chang.
