Wives tales ...

[Farrell]

I like to point out that about half the mass of most Steinways is not Steinway to begin with - they all have a Kelly plate in them (only very recently was Kelly bought by Steinway).

  My favorite is . . .

  If you don't replace the Steinway part with a Steinway part, the piano is no longer a Steinway.  Sounds like bull crud to me.

    This is not a wives tale, but it is a good one I just heard today. A church got a new Yamaha G3 last fall. They removed the 2 year old complete Damp Chaser system from their old grand but they aren't sure they want to install it on the new Yamaha. Some members are concerned about "damaging" the new piano by putting screws into it. 
     
    There are experts everywhere you look.

    Forgive me if this is already in the archives.  Would you care to help generate a list of myths "wives tales" and responses?  Like you I deal with them all the time.  Even thought the piano has not been tuned for ump-teen years the customer calls for a tuning because the piano was just moved across the room.  What school do our customers attend to be so well versed at (Im)proper piano care?
