Heavy Steinway actions/David A.

[Carl Meyer]

It was my understanding that union problems for 2 yrs caused the Steinway
family to sell out to CBS since their best techs had left by that time.  The
"CBS pianos" were sometimes returned and replaced by a "rebuilt unit" by the
music directors that had purchased the new unit.
