[pianotech] Hypothetical Question

[David Love]

Well, Steinway has apparently already issued a statement that they would
prefer that all evidence that it was ever a Steinway, including the logos on
the plate, were ground off if any changes to the design were made or even if
the soundboard was executed, apparently, outside the confines of the
factory.  

 

I would guess that you are safe.

 I'm looking for opinions about this. 

  If someone were to  buy a Samick, or Yamaha,Kawai,Stwy, Mason, whatever
and change everything but the case and plate, what is my liability if I
remove the plate insignia and fall board name and place another name on it
or even my own on the piano  ie. Erwins & Sons? and then sell it. I know Ron
Overs has purchased new cases from Samick and built the rest of the piano
and sold it as an Overs.
