Decals???

[David ilvedson]

Well of course there are plenty of items that Steinway 
purchases for use in their pianos.  Mapes make the bass 
strings I believe.  How about all those Renner actions 
Steinway put in there big grands for a number of years.  It is a 
statement Steinway made for the consumer more than piano 
technicians...
