Young Chang 109 Upright Acoustic Piano | Polished Mahogany | Used | Bolton Store
This Young Chang 109 acoustic piano built in South Korea in approximately 1994 is a lovely piano. It has 85 keys and is in a nice polished mahogany compact cabinet. Designed to fit into smaller homes or spaces it it in great condition. Externally there are a few scratches on top of the piano that I have tried to capture on the photos and a few minor marks on the key fall but overall this piano looks good to me. Internally this piano has no issues, has been regularly tuned and is at concert pitch. The key action is nice and responsive and the piano has a nice bright tone with and nice sustain and resonance. I think this piano is very nice and good value for money.

About Young Chang Pianos....
Young Chang pianos is based in South Korea and was founded in 1956 by three brothers: Jae-Young Kim, Jae-Chang Kim, and Jae-Seop Kim. The brothers began selling Yamaha pianos in Korea under an agreement with the firm.
Currently, Young Chang is one of the largest piano manufacturing companies in the world.
The company holds approximately fifty percent of the Korean piano market.
For approximately nine years, beginning in 1964, Young Chang and Yamaha entered into an agreement where Yamaha shipped partially completed pianos from Japan, to the Young Chang factory in Inchon, S. Korea. There, the company performed final assembly work. This included assembling the cabinet, installing the action, and stringing the piano.
This arrangement with Yamaha lasted until 1975, as Young Chang decided to manufacture pianos under their own name, as well as to expand the company's reach, domestically and internationally. Toward the late 1970s, Young Chang began exporting their pianos to the United States.
1979 was a pivotal year, as the company saw its influence reach worldwide: Young Chang America (1979), and later, Young Chang Canada (1984), and finally, Young Chang Europe (1989).
Young Chang also built pianos for other companies, under names such as Astor, Bechendorff, Bergmann, Cline, Essex, Ibach, Karl Muller, Knabe, Nakamura, Pramberger, Schafer & Sons, Wagner, Weber, and Wurlitzer.
In 1995, Joseph Pramberger (former Vice President of Steinway and Sons) joined the company and brought certain innovations which include the “Platinum Touch Action” and the patented, asymmetrically tapered soundboard, which made Young Chang even more famous and allowed them to produce pianos of a much better quality.
In 1990, Young Chang purchased Kurzweil Music Systems, a manufacturer of high end digital and electronic musical instruments, thus making their market much wider.
Present Day Manufacturing
The company is headquartered in Incheon, South Korea and has more than 2000 full time workers who design and build their grand and upright pianos, as well as the Kurzweil Music Systems.
