I would guess, by observing the positioning of the pianos in these “ratingsâ€(extremely gross misplacement of pianos in the low end), that this particular dealer is focused on the low end of the market, and these, along with the Baldwins are probably his core business… In the case of the ridiculous ratings on “ it is quite clear that that site owner is representing (or has represented in the recent past once these “ratings†were compliledâ€), pianos by the Bechstein group (including the Hoffmann), Sauter, Schultze Pollmann, Baldwin, Charles Walters, Hallett Davis, and J. This is largely what makes such “ratings†no better than a scam, in my opinion. Such websites/buying guides try to appear as “objectiveâ€, giving no indication that they are actually brought up by a specific dealer, and their purpose is to promote his pianos. Usually, the charlatan owning the web page behind the bogus “ratings, is using the Larry Fine’s rating, to make his own look credible, and “inserting†into them the lines he wants to promote, but of course, completely misplaced.Īlso, the competition to the dealer’s line, is clearly rated lower than the pianos he is trying to push… The purpose of the "buying guide" is practically the same, when the common conclusion one is supposed to reach, after reading these, is that the purchase of the author's inventory is the "wise and right" decision…a “bargain†of a sort.

In these bogus ratings, the authors are attempting to present an "objective opinion" while positioning the brands they paddle, far above where the industry consensus would agree with, and far above their true competition.

Sadly, it seems that in recent years it became fashionable, for dealers who may have low integrity and ethics, to prey on unsuspecting consumers by trying to present bogus "ratings" or "Piano Buying Guides" which are found on the web or distributed for free (or a penny). The only reputable and reliable source to be used as a guideline for such evaluations is “the piano bookâ€, and the yearly 2007 – 2008 supplement, by Larry Fine, and even his ratings are criticized. It is apparently hard enough to rate pianos when the attempt is done objectively, by professionals and reflecting the various opinions and consensus in the industry.

I've myself wanted to accept one, however due to the negative comments regarding the quality, I've remained passive.Ĭan anyone with knowledge about Samick pianos unfold any misconceptions regarding the brand.Regardless of how Samic products compare in the market, the last thing you'd like to do is put ANY trust in the sort of "ratings" you'd find on the web for such pianos.
