Estonia: Good piano. Grands only. Estonia. (Note: There are many piano company names emerging from the dust caused by the fall of the Soviet Union. For now (2006), avoid these. The Belaruse, for example, is a horrible piano. But it's cheap! Forget it. It's the worst piano on the market.) Do not confuse these post-Soviet pianos with the Estonia, however! The Estonia is a very good piano because the Soviets left the factory alone, probably because Estonia was so far from Moscow and made few enough instruments that it was not worth the Soviet government's effort to take over the factory.
