I think that "If it doesn't have 12,011 parts, put in and on the 
instrument, in either the New York or Hamburg factories, or the London 
shop, by genuine Steinway employees, during, and using, the normal 
manufacturing (or re-manufacturing) procedures, it isn't a Steinway." is 
too cumbersome a slogan.
