“Pearl River has been long established as the world’s best-selling piano manufacturer,” said Leng Tshua, Pearl River’s Global Director of Sales & Marketing, who gave four media interviews to Music China-appointed media companies during the show’s launch party. “Our achievements in handcrafting string instruments such as violins, cellos, and now both acoustic and electric guitars is gaining ground.”

After challenging its luthiers to create a series of acoustic guitars that rival the best, Pearl River sent Lawson two prototypes for evaluation. Impressed with the near-Martin and Gibson quality, his suggestions became a collaboration that led to the handcrafted Mike Lawson Signature Model guitars.

Pearl River also introduced an upgrade of its silent piano player system. The new QU2 intelligent piano/silent system has been designed to maintain the acoustic integrity and structure of the piano with no adverse effect on the sound or keyboard touch. The system is available factory-installed on any upright piano or ordered for customer installation.
