Samick started in Seoul in 1958 and became one of the world's biggest piano makers, building instruments under its own name and for many others (Kohler & Campbell, Pramberger, Seiler, and various dealer house brands). Since the 1990s production has moved from Korea to Indonesia, and Samick now also owns Seiler of Germany.
On the used market Samick is a value brand: a step below Yamaha and Kawai in refinement and resale, but a reliable, modern instrument at a beginner-friendly price. The Korean-built grands of the 1980s–90s in particular can be strong buys when they have been maintained.

View detailsBuying a used Samick: what to check
- Check the country of origin on the plate or serial: Korean-built (pre-2000) examples are generally preferred over early Indonesian production
- Play the middle register for evenness — action regulation on budget pianos tends to drift after 20 years
- Hammer felt on Samicks is often hard; ask the seller when it was last voiced
- Compare against a same-size used Kawai or Yamaha; if the price gap is small, the Japanese piano usually resells better
