History of Schubert Pianos

These are some information I found out about Schubert Pianos:-

There is a company named Borisov in Belarus, Russia that was established in the 1930's. However, The Schubert Piano Company went out of business in 1937. Pianos that were manufactured before 1996 were Russian-made instruments before they discontinued European manufacturing. In 1996, they changed their name to Tri-Con Music Group and outsourced production to China's Pearl River Piano Company. The real name is Tri-Con Music Group, Inc. Pianos that were manufactured after 1996 are Chinese piano using the Schubert label.

Chinese companies are pretty new in the manufacturing of pianos and their quality is not quite up to par in comparison with Korean and Japanese makers. Some Japanese and American companies have begun to outsource production to China for its cheap labor. These companies tend to produce a better product than the Chinese national companies that are recent start-ups.

If you like the way the instrument sounds and feels (after a good tuning, that is), that would be a good sign to keep it. Please have a technician look over the instrument and service it so that it's ready to sell or enjoy in its best possible condition.
