Steinway factory whippens

[David Love]

I don't know about their manufacturing but they were doing inventory the
last week or two and that usually means they put a hold on filling
orders.

Awaiting a new shipment??? Shipment from where? Didn't they spend a 
gazillion bucks a few years back to upgrade (or replace) their old
in-house 
action parts fabrication equipment to eliminate just these kinds of 
problems? Have they now decided they can't make their own parts after
all 
and are having someone else not make them instead? I'm apparently out of

touch. What's the story here?
