To my surprise, many of them sounded very nice. The search returned about 15 results and I listened to all of them. So, I did a YouTube search for "Young Chang G150", or, "PG 150" (can't remember). I had reservations about the ability of such a small piano to produce an acceptable sound. I recently investigated the possible purchase of a 2000 YC baby grand (5'). However, things may have changed substantially since then for YC. I have not heard good things about YC pianos of that age. I wanted to believe in the Young Chang brand and pretty much gave away what could have been a potential long term playing instrument. Tone was pretty decent overall and the piano played quite well with a resonant bass end (aside from above mentioned issues) so I passed up a chance to perhaps correct the issues with a local technician who was going to charge around $1,850 to do the regulation of the action and other pedal and damper adjustments. Here was the piano I had purchased - as it was "sold" to me for $8,500 - and, after deciding not to keep it I then sold it back to another store:
It would appear to me that most folks are afraid to even consider Young Chang grands with all of the other major piano brands out there as there are too many negative details regarding the action brackets problems from the middle 1980's though the 1990's and I passed up on one myself that did not have the action brackets problem but had some other issues regarding a heavy action, pedals and dampers that did not work correctly, and a number of notes in the treble range that had an odd buzzing sound and perhaps needed additional voicing and/or action regulation to correct?
