Not just a stencil piano. I know the owner of the business you speak of personally. He's been in business for over 40 years and actually has a great reputation. The Julianna pianos are made with premium parts like a solid spruce sound board, german made string and hammers and other quality pieces. But, like many other brands today, they are assembled in a factory in China. They are a great piano and Roy, the creator, has put a lot of time and effort into ensuring each piano has what he believes should be essential in all great pianos.
