huh ??? er... did I say anything about that ?? I simply stated that there is
nothing in the rules that states you can not document that a Steinway piano,
origionally built by Steinway, was indeed origionally built by them. Regardless
of what the rebuilder does to alter the piano. Did you misunderstand ?? If
Steinway forbids "non-authorized rebuilders" from re-naming the piano Steinway by
denying them access to Decals, etc., then no law is broken. Further there is
absolutly no law preventing anyone from applying there own logo on a rebuilt
piano providing that logo clearly states "Rebuilt by" as part of the Logo.
