It's a C&A piano owned by Steinway, so it's always been theirs to do as 
they like. It's probably the oldest piano in the C&A stable as well, as 
they're usually fairly fresh pianos.

As far as the factory is concerned, action parts probably aren't any 
different from tires or an engine in a race car. It's the driver (and the 
chassis) that is important, not the parts used in the car.
