[CAUT] Steinway questions

[rwest1 at unl.edu]

I'll see what I can do.  It seems like questions about Steinway  
behavior have circulated for decades.  So I'd like to get a lot of  
what's out there and maybe put some of them to rest by confirming or  
busting some of the myths and ideas that keep popping up.  I've  
received around 10 "myths".  I'd like to get more.
