Never heard of this particular brand. http://phoenix.craigslist.org/cph/msg/3424437973.html Here's a link to the company's website www.schillerpianocompany.com Appears to be built in "Asia" using German components. Any insights would be appreciated. Mason and Hamlin BB - 91640 Kawai K-500 Upright Kawai CA-65 Digital Korg SP-100 Stage Piano YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/pianophilo

I play it, assess the touch and sound, inspect how well it is put together and its current state, and extrapolate according to my experience. That is about all one can do. Semipro Tech
