Never heard this one.. I am foggy on all this but my "understanding" is that at some point in history Grotrian and Steinway and Sons were the same company. Something about a son-in-law breaking off and forming Grotrian at about the same time the Hamburg / New York constellation popped up. Might be interesting to get the straight skinny on all that at some point. Cant see how they could be forced to drop the Steinweg part of their name now tho... they have had it for so long already.
