Fact, Franz Mohr was Vladimir Horowitz's personal piano technician for 40 years. Flew all over the world with him on concerts. And Horowitz wasnt his only such client. Regardless of what you might want to read into his lack of respect for ETD's (which I might add is following the Steinway line), you do not
discount a fellow who has this kind of experience with this kind of customer for so many years. Not unless you are very foolish.

Now that doesnt mean you swallow every word he says as Big "G's" holy gospel either... that would be going from one extreme to the other. :)
