In 1975 the arrangement ended when Young Chang decided to expand domestically and internationally under its own brand name, thus becoming a competitor. As time went by, Young Chang built more of the components, to the point where they were making virtually the entire piano. This arrangement reduced high import duties. Yamaha shipped partially completed pianos from Japan to the Young Chang factory in Incheon, South Korea, where Young Chang would perform final assembly work such as cabinet assembly, stringing, and action installation. In 1964 Yamaha and Young Chang entered into an agreement in which Yamaha helped Young Chang set up a full-fledged manufacturing operation. In 1962 the brothers incorporated as Young Chang Akki Co., Ltd. But the prospects were bright for economic development, and as a symbol of cultural refinement the piano was much coveted. Korea was recovering from a devastating war, and only the wealthy could afford pianos. In 1956, three brothers - Jai-Young, Jai-Chang, and Jai-Sup Kim - founded Young Chang and began selling Yamaha pianos in Korea under an agreement with that Japanese firm. Pianos made by: Young Chang Co., Ltd., Incheon, South Korea and Tianjin, China Information - Concerts, News,FAQs, Archives. Organs - Electronic (B3 etc.), Pipe, Theatre.

first aided by Yamaha when YC assembled their pianos in South Korea, Young Chang has had a pretty varied history, which may affect quality which, in turn, could certainly affect condition A used G-150 4' 11" surely is worthy of even less consideration, in my opinion, whatever the price.ģ) As with any used piano, condition is of prime importance and condition can only be determined by a technician examining the piano, no matter what the owner might say. There are just too many design compromises in that size piano for them to be much more than a piece of furniture. Note : I was too lazy to type up the whole list for each category, but gave some representative pianos for points of reference.Ģ) : In my opinion any grand piano - and even more so when you get down to consumer level - as small as 4' 11" is not worth looking at.
