I think these are referred to in the trade as SteinWAS! Of course this applies to all the big names, Bechstein, Bosendorfer and Bluthner but I'm not sure what their policy is on this. There must be some dealers who are concerned about this turn of events - this one for example which has loads of reconditioned Steinways.
