[CAUT] Steinway rebuilds

[Edward Sambell]

None  whatever. A good rebuild is often better than new.

I wonder how many of those glorious sounding Ds had rebuilt bellies? Steinway 
gets the credit for the sound but many of you techs have rebuilt Ds and really 
they are what you like in a piano but does anybody in the audience know that? 
They hear a wonderful concert and the piano was a Steinway. Who gets credit for 
the sound? If the piano sounds bad, who gets credit for the sound?
