Dennis: Since it is Steinway & Sons that is paying for the advertisments about "genuine Steinway Parts" I think it is obvious what they mean by it. Buy from Glorie or it aint real! I don't let that stop me from recommending other parts. I have a piano coming in that I am going to do a complete action job. I mentioned to the customer my preference for Renner action parts, but told her that Steinway spends a lot of money advertising the "genuine..." idea. I left the choice to her. She decided to go with "genuine". I think it important - in view of Steinway's advertising and their trade mark on the piano - to point out the difference. Some of my customers go with my recommendation of Renner, others choose Steinway. For obvious tort reasons, I want the choice to be theirs. dave -- _______________________________________________ David M.
