Title: Burger & Jacobi HELP!
Post by: okoie on April 24, 2013, 10:40:59 AM

Dear friends,
I have been told that this  company has partiallly transferred the production in China: is there
someone who knows if that's so?
I call for your help because I have played in a shop a grand that matches my desires but I have doubts about the endurance of the instrument (tuning, voicing,action etc..).
Many thanks in advance

The article above was from a spring 2012 guide.  If you really want to make sure, I'd call a dealer and get all the details.  Sometimes the internet can be somewhat "not up to date" with small companies. They may develop and engineer their parts in europe (as they claim) but have their final assembly moved to china (Sejung).  That would be my guess.
