Quick google search is saying that there is 40 MILLION Chinese Piano Students. 7 times the US. That requires a lot of Piano's. Given the wage difference, they need less expensive instruments. I'm glad the Chinese families have this as an option for them.
What a racket... while one shouldn't expect a factory to be silent, some acoustic treatment would probably be helpful, as there is a certain sound associated with machinery that is working properly vs. that which isn't.
Your piano is off tune (to person tuning piano). No no, that's one of the other 16 being tuned next to me... Unbelievable. Wow. Thanks for posting this video. An eye opener. 👍🏻😀🇬🇧
Just soul-crushing work, but the manual dexterity of the balance rail punching girl is impressive. No way to do key leveling with an auto-machine. Steinway does not allow the public to record their proprietary action part producing machinery. Very interesting to see similar machines here.
I hope they give them hearing protection, have good ventilation so their work will not only pay a salary but protect so they can go home in evenings in good health
Not to say it, but the Chinese piano market is known for low quality, almost disposable builds when you could get something so much better for a third more.
China made low quality was rooted in many people mind, but many famous brand was manufactured in China, and a Brand call Hailun was highly command ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jfMCmg2dG6w.html if you purchase a very low price China made whatever items but expect it to have High stranded high price product, not fair, right?
That's not entirely true. Some Chinese companies are making pianos for European companies. Zimmermann is Bechstein's "affordable" pianos and are quite good. Pearl River makes the Essex line for Steinway. Hailun makes some very nice pianos and pianos for Fuerich as well. Some Chinese pianos are low quality but others are very high quality.
@benjaminsmith2287 Understood and agreed, but it's a falicy to believe that the entry level quality of the farmed out to China builds and lines is in anyway comparable to the native company’s builds.
Look into Hailun and Pearl River. Their craftmanship is fine. American pianos aren't mass produced and neither are European pianos. Some European makes, prestigious ones, are using Chinese manufacturers for their middle lines. The only mass produced pianos are Chinese, Korean and Japanese, with Japanese being the highest (from Yamaha and Kawai) but to say Chinese pianos have poor craftmanship is a dated notion. They go from not so great to excellent. Bechstein and Steinway would not build some of their lines in China if Chinese pianos were all trash.
Tired of hearing about inferior quality and how there junk, it's the furthest from the Truth I guess if it doesn't have Steinway on it people think it's junk.
sorry but they aren't worth to buy. buy proper piano unless it takes more. something I learned from books or lessons to regulate upright action didn't work with these.
