I remember. 
He distributed documentation of his findings, including pictures. Unfortunately, I didn't keep any.
He did lose his distributorship of Steinway, even although he was one of their biggest sellers in New England.

    Only mildly related here, but does anyone know if Steinway made any changes to their crowning procedures as a result of the lawsuits filed by A. Michael's Piano Co. some 15 - 20 years ago?  Whatever you think of his methods, he did cause quite a stir.  Lots of pictures of compression ridges, cracks, loosed ribs -- and this on pianos still in the showroom.  Did Steinway make any procedural changes after this?  Does anyone else remember all this?
