How very sad and tragic! dp David M. Porritt dporritt@smu.edu -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Delwin D Fandrich Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2005 3:36 PM To: Pianotech Subject: RE: screw-stringers According to a conversation I had with Mr John Steinway in the mid-1970s the Steinway company had perfected the basic design of the piano by approximately 1932 and there was nothing left to develop. There was really no need for the Steinway company to continue on with their R&D department except to adapt the occasional new material and, perhaps, some new tool. About the only thing left for their competitors was to copy the Steinway design as best they could.
