    importing them from East Germany/Russia. Supposedly, the quality is
    good enough (given the price range for that particular model).

    Has anybody ever heard of Becker, and can they reccommend on for this
    price range ($2000-$3000)?

    Any info would be appreciated.

    We have a large Becker upright in our family since the 60s, it is about 100 years old now. Amazing concert-type upright, beautiful sound and a very nice action. A wonderful and very special instrument!

    Becker was the piano Tchaikowsky used in his home.
