Has anyone ever heard of the Suzuki brand of pianos?
I have the opportunity to buy a Suzuki Brand Baby Grand Piano. I did some searching, but have not found anything of the Suzuki brand in the Piano industry. I have heard of the popular brands like Kawaii and Yamaha, but never have seen a Suzuki before.
And I'm talking real piano, not electric. I would appreciate any review of the company if that information is available.
Thanks you.

2 AnswersOther - Music1 decade agoWhat is the technical name for a room where one makes multimedia materials?
I work at a Japanese university, and my university is constructing a new building on campus. One of the rooms has been specifically designed for making multimedia materials, like large poster, video editing, and power point production. In Japanese the name of the room, directly translated, is "The room for making multimedia materials". That is way too wordy, so they want to know what a better term would be. If anyone out there has any suggestions or actually knows what the technical name of a room like that would be called, please answer this question.
Thank you.
2 AnswersOther - Visual Arts1 decade agoI'm looking for a very popular song that has the line, "And I'm proud to an American ....... I'm free..."
I heard that song for the first time several years ago when I went to visit "Stone Mountain" just outside Atlanta, GA. and I have heard it a few times since then and I never could find out what the title was or who sang it. So, If you can tell me the title of the song and the singer/band that sings it, I would be very appreciative. I'm not 100% sure of the lyrics, but the chorus goes something like:
And I'm proud to be an American, because I know I'm free
Sorry, that is the only line that comes to mind right now, but I love the melody and the words (when I hear them).
Thanks in advance for your help.

2 AnswersCameras1 decade agowhich sport is most American, Football, Basketball, or Baseball?
Football is probably more popular with all the bowl games and college football, etc. but isn't baseball called the American past time? I guess Basketball shouldn't be on the list, especially with its growing internationalization, but it is among the big three. Remember I am asking for the MOST AMERICAN sport, not the most popular in America. Thanks for your great answers.

6 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoDid Tiger open the door to his match with Weir for the greater good?
Tiger didn't have to pull out his driver. He didn't have to go for it all. That is not in the normal "Tiger Play Book" of shots in that type of situation. Normally, Tiger would "consistency" an opponent into making a mistake. The momentum what all his coming back from three down. For ratings, for the host country, for the Presidents Cup, and ultimately, for the international game of golf, do you think Tiger did what he did? No disrespect to Tiger or Mike, but something just doesn't seem right. I am sure Tiger would say that he tried his best and that he would be offended at such an accusation, but someone has to ask it.
