One of my favorite stories was the customer who insisted--firmly--that ONLY
S&S parts be put in his vintage grand (an "O", as I recall, he's since left
the area). So, I ordered a pair of replacement wound strings for D2 from
Steinway.

They were drop-shipped from Mapes and the bill was substantially more than
it would have been had I ordered them direct from Mapes. I put the usual
mark-up on the strings and the customer paid, but was not thrilled when I
let him in on the "joke". 

So Steinway or Mapes? Steinway or Renner? 

Ignorance is so expensive!

And does Steinway print a parts catalog or price list? Not to my knowledge,
and certainly won't have it on the web, I'm sure. When I ordered those
strings, I asked if a parts list or catalog was available and the S&S guy
just said: "Tell me what you want", in such a voice that I could clearly
sense that he was looking down his nose at this little hick from the shticks
like he was a recent lottery winner and I'd just called to tell him I was
his mother's sister's third child's brother-in-law and could I borrow some
money.

I'm preparing a rebuilding quote on a Steinway M from the 1920's for the
piano store I work for part-time.  The customer wants Steinway parts, but I
just tried Steinway's phone number from the Journal and it is too late in
the day.  Is there no way to get this information online?  It seems that in
this day and age....
