I found this touching comment on Wild by Mr. Don Mannino:

And a nice comment by Steven Hough at 
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/stephenhough/100006374/earl-wild-1915-2010-r-i-p/  
There are some interesting links too in the Blog comments.

I can'r remember where I read about the Steinway incident, and I'm 
looking for information online. I believe that quite early in his career 
he was to perform somewhere and an unfortunate Steinway manager was very 
offhand and unhelpful about supplying a piano so Wild went to Baldwin 
who were just the opposite and he stuck with them after that. (Though 
latterly moving to Kawai).

Best regards,
