What would Steinway do

[Mike Spalding]

Jon, Barbara,

But would they use 1910 parts and materials?  Blued pins, brown cloth, 
leather case buttons?  Or would they use L parts from current 
production?  What about the black lettering on the plate, would they do 
it all per original, or leave some of it un-painted as is current 
practice.  Gold leaf fill in the big block letter STEINWAY in the high 
treble?
