Conover Cable

Structural�Integrity and musical performance are paramount for all pianists and educators. Conover Cable pianos are highly regarded as one of the best educational pianos in the world because they are designed to withstand continual use. Therefore when you select a Conover Cable piano, expect great tone, consistent touch and exceptional tuning stability.

Conover Cable pianos are made by Samick Musical Instruments, one of the largest acoustic piano manufacturers in the world, part of the Bechstein-Samick Alliance. Established in 1837.

The Bechstein-Samick Alliance was created when Samick acquired majority ownership of the world renowned C.Bechstein piano company of Berlin, Germany. Bechstein has over 150 years of expertise and recognition and their technicians regularly travel to Samick in Korea. They provide a consultancy service to Samick which is reflected in the exceptional durability and performance of the Conover Cable range.

Samick became the first South Korean company to acquire the KS-Mark (Korean Industrial Standard) certification in 1971. Since then, Samick has continued to make efforts in developing new products and improving quality, starting with a technical cooperation with Klaus Fenner, a piano designer and technician from Germany. The venture with Klaus Fenner awarded them the gold prize in 'The World Piano Quality Contest' held by Diapason, an international music magazine from France in 1985. Fenner is renowned for designing the German Imperial Scale which gives pianos longer strings and larger soundboards than most other pianos.

More recently Samick committed to a continuous improvement strategy with their purchase of shares in the C.Bechstein company. Samick technicians regularly discuss design and manufacturing improvements with C.Bechstein's German technicians and implement ongoing changes.

Of particular note, Samick obtained the ISO 9002 Quality Assurance certification in February of 1995, ISO 9001 certification in February 1998 and ISO 9001:2000 in 2004 from Germany's TUV, the premier certification group with international authority. They have also achieved Japanese Industrial Standard certification which acknowledges that their pianos meet the stringent requirements of the Japanese market.

All actions (internal mechanisms) for Conover Cable pianos are manufactured in Korea. This ensures that Conover Cable pianos are made with the greatest quality and yet affordable for everyone. All Samick technicians are meticulously trained to meet Bechstein-Samick standards and the highest quality parts are sourced from around the globe.
