But isn't the real problem that Boosey & Hawkes itself is in poor financial condition and is on the block? It was reported in the trade magazines two months ago that Steinway had withdrawn its offer for B & H and that another buyer was being seeked. The word was that the musical instrument division was the most volatile (rather than the music publishing division) due to questionable profitability.
