Boston parts

Folks,
Just wondering if any of you have had service problems with
Boston/Steinway parts department .
I take care of a Boston 218 that resides on a stage here in Bellevue,
Washington. In early March a performer's crew dropped the lid and
trashed the lid prop. I called Boston parts for a replacement right
away, having to leave a message with all particulars. Since then I have
talked to two different people, left several messages, written a letter,
all to no avail as to getting an answer as to if the silly part is even
on order. The management is really upset that they have had to wait
until August to even find out if it's ordered or not. My last message on
Friday the 21 was practically begging for some type of a reply. As far
as I'm concerned they just don't care. Perhaps they would rather like
the picture I have of a mop handle being used for publicity??
Is this typical of Boston/Steinway or do they just cater to the "big
boys"? Any suggestions as to how I can get some kind of response? I'm
not looking forward to trying to get a generic lid prop from another
source and trying to refinish it to match.
