Piano-making in Hong Kong

I was intrigued to find out recently (when going through Public Works Department annual reports from the 1920s) that there were piano factories in Hong Kong. The only two I am aware of at the moment are the Robinson Piano Co. (in Wanchai, see https://gwulo.com/node/12881) and a piano factory in Shaukeiwan Road (I.L. 2845), built ca. 1929 with the factory downstairs and living quarters above (mentioned in the 1929 PWD Annual Report). Does anyone have any more information on piano-making in Hong Kong?
