Well... they certainly are in the process of doing that. Thats for 
sure.  It was declared outright at the Nordic Convention in Stockholm 
last october that there is a move torwards <<unification>> of the two 
factories... ie that the pianos coming out of both will be as identical 
in character as is possible.  I think the way they said it was that they 
want the public to feel that the two factories are equal in all (as many 
as possible) regards.

Personally... I think it will be a good trick if they can do it.  
Germans and New Yorkers are different worlds in as many ways as not me 
thinks.

Cheers

It looks to me like they are trying to better coordinate what they are

who is prone to fantasies but while they are making all these changes 
how about making the NY sostenuto like the Hamburg one!
