#1653 - 01/26/07 06:52 PM What are your opinions of Sejung Falcone pianos?

Hello everyone,

I am considering buying a Sejung-made Falcone Georgian Series piano. The Georgian series is said to have a wide tail design (I assume the others don't) and uses Abel hammers (not known which ones) and Roslau strings.

Any information and PERSONAL experience with Sejung pianos is appreciated.

Dealers, please don't let the thread go off on a tangent.

Thanks,
Pat

As it just so happens, I have an 1890's Steinway A that I could restore for you.

Why do that, when you could get the Falcone and stencil Steinway's name over it. Now you would combine the name and the performance at a nice price :3hearts:

I guess I made it sound like this is a REAL Falcone. I know it isn't and certainly didn't mean that. I stated it that way so that it would be clear I I didn't mean a real Falcone but I guess I didn't achieve that.

Thanks for your sarcasm.

By the way Fathertopianist, don't you have anything better to do. You seem like some kind of snob.

Patrick, come on where is your sense of humor? It's not directed at you although I apologize if it felt that way.

Falcone is not a stencil since Sejung owns the name and is the manufacturer. Steve Cohen explained this similsrly in another thread.

I guess you take it personally that Falcone couldn't stay in business.

Easy come, easy go.

If Falcone were still in business, could you afford one?

Patrick-- I think you are posting simultaneously with me. I honestly know nothing about Falcone or it's history and have no opinions on the piano itself.

In my very short time looking at pianos for my daughter, I have gotten the impression that Steinway is no where near worth the money. Especially if right out of the factory.

It's good that Steinway is having Pearl River make their essex pianos. They might end up with a decent product. Ha Ha.
