I haven't heard that rumor. I can state as fact that when I spoke to David Grossi, who was head of the restoration dept. at the time the piano was worked on, I specifically asked him what had become of those parts and he told me that they had been thrown away. When I expressed incredulity at this and asked why, his reply was that the factory looked at parts as either good parts or bad parts.
