I think the only time this really becomes a sticky issues is if you heavily-modify a Steinway piano, then sell it as a "genuine Steinway" when it isn't. If you have to go to court to defend it then you need to be protected. As has been said before, simply glue a sticker you've printed up to the inside or to a beam stating the changes that have been made and your rear end is covered no matter what. It's simple and future owners/tuners will appreciate it.
