Yes, changing their entire traditionally made action parts to the Teflon 
style was a bold move. And yes, you have to give them credit for venturing out. 
But.... the flip side of Steinway is this ultra-conservative company which, 
to this day, is paranoid  (and in no hurry) when it comes changing a lousy 
screw. They will test, test, and further test the validity and durability of a 
screw for over a decade before actually making the change.
That being said, I still find it rather interesting  how  Teflon passed their 
testing regiment. The problems would have had to show up early on in testing 
and demonstrate that this material was going to cause oodles of problems. 
Maybe during those dark years ( as Steinway refers to it) they completely left 
their guard down and let things slide a bit.
