I have seen 3 or 4 console pianos with bogus fallboard labeling, but it was so obvious that even the owners of the pianos knew it. However, I went to investigate complaints about a Baldwin grand, and after a brief inspection had to inform the owners that some refinisher had put a Baldwin decal on some generic grand with nothing on the frame or anywhere else to indicate who built the piano. I told them to see if they could find the refinisher if they wanted to pursue the matter further. As a personal observation, there is no business that the unscrupulous can't twist enough to make thing difficult for the honest, and there is no business that can't be made infuriatingly more complicated by lawyers. I don't necessarily equate the two categories, but .... there it is. John S.
