Cristoforis were originally made by Sejung, but production was moved to Pearl River ~ 2009. If the piano is under 12 years old, it should still be covered by a warranty.

@Klaus said in Speaking of Pianos.:
Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a decent piano instead of trying to "improve" a junk piano?
I mentioned that, for the money that they spent "fixing" the "free" piano (actually it's closer to $4K, I think) they would have been better off with a new digital and some amplified speakers.

Tried that, for a church much more financially strapped. Nope, piano or bust.
I bought them a nice used K-30. Put the new-style longer music holder on it. They were happy.

Digital vs Acoustic.
I love my Roland digital. It does everything I want and more. I find that I forget that I have Pianoteq installed, and I just "get used" to the sound it makes. For quiet and silent practice, you really can't beat it - especially at 6 AM when Mrs George is asleep and I'm in the guest room with the Roland.
But...
I experimented with something new today.
I cranked the volume on the Roland WAY up. I tried to make it as loud as my Bohemia for "equivalent" touch.
Was it room-filling? Yeah, considering the room is small.
Did it sound like a "real" piano? Yeah, kinda-sorta. I never, ever, lost the feeling that I was playing a computer - a very good computer - but it just didn't sound 100% like a "piano."
I love, LOVE, my Roland, and I find myself playing and practicing on it at least 80% of the time.
But...it's not my grand, and never will be.

The hell with middle c.
Play in the more esoteric keys where middle c would be dissonant.

@bachophile , or take a tuning hammer to make the middle C semi-permanently dissonant.
