Horowitz and Mohr

[Farrell]

And do you think for even one minute that if anyone, that had redesigned the piano belly, modified the plate, balanced & optimized the action, etc. (and it turned out good), were standing next to the piano and someone asked them.... "oh, I see that is a brand X piano" that they would say "well yes it is", and leave it at that? I reeeeeeellllly doubt it.
