R Lipp upright piano

[bananafingers]

Hi, I just bought a new upright piano, a Richard Lipp and Sohn.  I was following a forum where the R. Lipp and Sohn was discussed.  I realize that most of the piano's are now made in China, but I am a beginner and liked the look of this one, and it was as much as I could afford.  I like to practice on it and am still having beginner lessons, so an expensive one was out of the question.   In any case, it is a far cry from the keyboard I was learning on.  So, any thoughts about the new version?

Richard Lipp and Sohn is a small brand ,u 'd better choose the others brand , most of the piano's are now made in China,that's true , as i know from this forum ,hailun(Helen)made in ningbo city china and pearl river and Ritmuller(this brand manufactured in pearl river),they both are fine and cheap,can satisfy what u need , choose big brand ,because big brand 's afersale sevice are good then small's, and big brand are use good materials. japanese brand ,i advise u choose KAWAI

Hi, I know Richard Lipp & Sohn (Stuttgart) because I have 2 of them: 1 x 1910 6'7" Medium Grand, and 1 x 1930s Upright Grand. They are wonderful pianos with solid base and sweet rounded sounds. The actions are excellent, and as good as Steinways for some pianist friend I have.  However, after the WWII, the brandname ownership changed several times. It is currently manufactured by Hunday/Young Chang pianos. I do not know how good they are.
