In any case... the restored version in no way represents the character or
qualities of the piano that was Vladimir Horowitz's. Except that it had the
Steinway logo on it. Kind of a similar kind of thing really that Steinway
complains about when rebuilders significantly alter their design and leave the
Steinway name on an instrument.  But then this one wasnt called a "Horowitz" :)
