[pianotech] Changes at Steinway - Dana Messina resigns

[Elwood Doss]

Oh my.  I hope Young Chang doesn't purchase them.  Those pianos are the pits...no, the bottom of the pits!  You have to CA the tuning pins on NEW Young Changs! 
Joy!

Thanks, David.

Interesting that Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. is now based in 
Waltham, MA, home town of Kurzweil Music Systems (now owned by Young 
Chang). Their recent history of acquisitions is interesting.
