Ragland Piano Company is owned and operated by me - Howard Gustafson. I am a second-generation piano technician with over 25 years experience with all types of pianos, including player pianos.  My career started as a preteen helping my father with minor tasks in his shop, followed a few years later by a decade associated with one of the largest music stores in the Memphis, TN area.  I relocated to Texarkana, TX in 1996 and a year later opened Ragland Piano Company in its present location at 314 Main Street.  I have three boys, the oldest of whom has started assisting me in the shop after school - the third generation to work in the piano business.

Great sounding piano, incredible bass register.  Solid Spruce soundboard.  European styling - birdseye maple inner rim, lid lock, Empire style leg - see photos.  Equipped with PianoDisc PDS-128+ player system with Alesis symphony card.  While it didn't need much, we still inspected and lightly reconditioned it in our service facility and tested and adjusted the player system (I've been installing PianoDisc systems since the company started in 1989).  The cabinet is in great, nearly new condition - a very attractive, custom satin walnut.  We sold this piano new, and supplied a finish sample to the factory in Korea - it is the only one of its kind in this specific finish.  Original, matching bench included.  The Korean built SKG series pianos were excellent pianos and had a number of features not seen in similar newer pianos.  Extra screws on each end of the top lid hinge help keep the hinge secured.  The keyslip is metal reinforced to prevent warping - a common cause of sticking keys.  The keybed has endgrain maple dowels where it is contacted by the glide bolts - critical to maintaining good keybed support and regulation.  Pianos without these dowels eventually get impressions where the bolts contact.  The action spine is "F" shaped, not "L" shaped - providing a much more rigid frame to mount the hammershank flanges to.  Also, the action has 5 action brackets where most pianos only have 4, giving additional support.  Look at the thickness of the lid support hinge - much stronger than most I see.  I seldom see these features on new pianos in this price range.
