The Modern Hobart M. Cable - Like so many others, the name Hobart M. Cable has been acquired by an Asian piano company. Maybe they're junk, maybe they're just great, I don't know. See the latest annual supplement to The Piano Book to find out! UPDATE: Actually saw one of these in person - at my local Costco of all places. Looked good, for what that's worth!
