Could that have made a difference? ….or do these people need to see the parts boxes "sanitized for your protection" lables saying "genuine Steinway parts"???

Its not s a Steinway anymore! Greetings, I can only suggest speaking what is inarguably true, ie, that in your opinion, the customer has been led astray by a marketing ploy that doesn't have much basis in reality. If that message were delivered in the proper spirit, then the customer will either reconsider or not, but whatever happens, it will be the optimum result for you. Perhaps it is better, Dale, that you didn't sell your piano to a stupid customer. The universe rewards us with good luck wrapped in a lesson, and sometimes all it takes is a little time to open it up.
