RE: New matrix for Piano Sale
Over the past two decades, MSU Bozeman Music Students and Faculty
have benefited from the use of quality new piano, provided at no cost
by piano manufacturers, most recently the KAWAI Piano Company. This
generous program has allowed us to use outstanding, well-maintained
pianos on a daily basis; pianos that are well beyond our budget capacity.
On November 1-3, the end of the current loan period, these
instruments will be made available for purchase at very reduced prices.
The selection of pianos include Kawai grand, baby grand, upright, and
digital pianos. Included for the first time will be pianos from
renowned manufacturers like Bosendorfer, Steinway & Sons,
Schimmel, Baldwin and numerous others.
Also for the first time, a significant share of the sale event proceeds
will go directly to the piano purchase budget of our department.
To respect your valuable time, most of the information for the piano sale
has been made available online to allow you "advance shopping and due
diligence" toward your purchase decision.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Sincerely,
Johan Jonsson
We wish to thank the All About Pianos company, Dianne Baker and Louis Spencer-Smith of Bozeman and Billings, for conducting the piano sale, for providing service, delivery, and financing for sale event customers, and for administering the many facets of the loan program throughout the year.
