Thank you. People's perceptions change slowly. It was that way first with Japanese products, then Korean and I guess it will slowly change with the Chinese products. There are still Europeans and Americans that think the best pianos are European or American, Japanese are a notch below and certainly Chinese can't seriously be considered as fine pianos. I strongly disagree. And, I think in maybe a decade, we may see Chinese grands, quite possibly Hailun concert grands, on stage at musical competitions with Europe and Japan's best. However, I doubt Hailun can keep their low price points for very much longer. There's too much quality in their pianos at that price point. They'll eventually have to go up and I also think Chinese products, at least quality products, will become more expensive and the cost to build there more expensive. I also think, as Hailun is a Chinese/European collaboration other Chinese manufacturers will form them and the piano industry will move forward. I expect Young Chang and the Japanese heavyweights to continue to also move forward in the evolution and advancement on the state of the art of pianos and there may be new innovations with pianos, some by Chinese manufacturers.

This video has aged extremely well!

Amazing Story. Thank you!

That's funny that the camera goes out of focus during the discussion about lenses. Haha! Thanks for this video, quite informative re Hailun pianos.

Hi, do you know something about Perzina pianos? I just tried one in a store and it sounded good, is a GP-133 upright, here in Spain can't find much info about it. Thanks

Brigham, do you think that Digital Pianos will eventually replace acoustic pianos?

2:33, very funny. I almost didn't get it. Good one.

I’m in the saxophone business for four decades and the Taiwanese saxophones used to stink but now they’re very good but the Chinese horns are just awful along with the vast majority of all their junk they dump on the world. These pianos may play well but what about longevity and resale value? When it starts to fall apart who’s going to fix it? Then there’s their horrific human rights policies and their positions on the environment. Personally I stay away from all Chinese stuff, I don’t care how well it plays.
