The Pearl River Name
Pearl River was not a "known" name in the United States until recent years, as Pearl River has only had company-owned US distribution since 2000. Since then Pearl River's US sales have grown quickly and today Pearl River enjoys a large market share of the under-$15,000 US piano market. Pearl River was the first Chinese piano company to market pianos in the United States under its own company name, and continues to be one of only two or three that do. International concert pianist Oksana Kolesnikova is a spokesperson for the Pearl River Butterfly Piano.

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or river:
“We’re in greater danger today than we were the day after Pearl Harbor. Our military is absolutely incapable of defending this country.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Every incident connected with the breaking up of the rivers and ponds and the settling of the weather is particularly interesting to us who live in a climate of so great extremes. When the warmer days come, they who dwell near the river hear the ice crack at night with a startling whoop as loud as artillery, as if its icy fetters were rent from end to end, and within a few days see it rapidly going out. So the alligator comes out of the mud with quakings of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
