Okay ... am typing this and trying to balance my third edition of The
Piano Book on my knees ... Pg 85, there is a TH. Betting listed

In US, it is represented by:
Betting, TH.
Syckes Piano Imports
129 E. Hartford Ave.
Phoeniz, Arizona 85022
(602) 942-5800
(602) 942-5808

Pianos made by: Legnicka Fabryka Fortepianow i Pianin, Legnica, Poland

Brand Names used: Th. Betting, Schirmer & Son, possibly private-label
brands

Pertinent information are:

Four vertical piano models are imported into the US, from a 41-1/2"
console to a 50-1/2 upright. The pisnos uses solid spruce soundboards,
quarter-sawn beech bridges, 17-ply beech pinblocks, and laminated
spruce/beech back posts. Renner actions are available as an option.

Lifetime warranty from the importer.

More information is available from the 1999–2000 Annual Supplement to
The Piano Book: http://www.tiac.net/users/pianobk/update.html

"SCHIRMER & SON

New phone number: 800-942-5801

In 1997, Schirmer & Son added three grands—5' 4", 6' 3", and 9'—to its
previously all-vertical piano line. They are made by Estonia
and are similar to the Estonia-brand grands, except that the two smaller
Schirmer & Sons grands use Czech actions (the 9' grand uses a
Renner action). In addition, there are some cosmetic changes requested
by Schirmer. New models of grands from the same factory that
makes the verticals (in Poland), including models with wood finishes,
will be available in late 1999. Models and prices were not
available at press time.

Note that the Th. Betting piano line, which was identical to the
Schirmer & Son line, has been discontinued."

Hoope this helps.

Thank you all, I finally made a deposit on the Legnica ( or Legnicka still
can't remember the spelling) , I checked the Piano and found no sign of rust
on the metal plate and the tuning pins (actually the tuning pins are quite
shinny) checked every key and they work and sounds ok. There is a seal on top
of the metal plate which wrote something like Legnica or Legnicka, Poland)

I don't know much about piano and the father of this used piano shop owner
played a tune for me and it sounds pretty good, the old man told me that the
manufacturer of this piano was the largest in Europe before second world war
though this fact doesn't affect my buying decision and this particular piano
was brought into the US by a Polish immigrant who is a pianoist 7 years ago
and the piano is 10 years old according to the shop.

The Piano cost me $2200 Canadian dollars (about US$1450) including tax,
delivery and 2 free tuning (1 before delivery and 1 after delivery) plus 5
years warrenty from this shop. And for an extra $400 Canadian Dollars (about
US$266) they will refinish the cabinet for me.

This shop was owned by Russians and the techicians there are all Russians and
they seems to know what they are doing. As the owner showed me his workshop
and introduce what kind of work the piano will undergo before they put it on
the showroom.

Anyway since the piano I chose just arrived his shop 1 day before I visited
them, they told me it will take around 8-10 days before they could delivery it
to me. This is also the fact why I choose this for its "as is" condition is
pretty good the metal plate and tuning pins are rust free, sound board is
clean and looks new with no sign of crack, the hammers are still in good
shape, keyboard are pretty level.

And most of all this piano sounds different from the Baldwin and Kimball
consoles (within my budget) it sound brighter and with lots of spirit. Only
those mini grands and full upright yamaha and Young Chang sounds better than
it but then they were out of my budget.

Anyway after 3 months of searching for a piano for my 4 years old daughter, I
finally made my decision and I would like to thank you all in this newsgroup
for the help.

Thank you very much, (now I hope my daughter will not lose interest after 3
months)

Calisia, and Legnica. Legnica was the successor to the old Seiler
factory, which was established when the German Reich extended that far
eat and the place was called Liegnitz. The germans moved West and the
Poles resumed manufacture there, at some point.
