There are dealers throughout the US.  I'm a technician-dealer in South  
Texas.  I don't have the large concert grand in the store but I do  
have the Omega 7'3".  Sauter USA (website) can direct you to the  
dealer closest to you and they have had a concert grand traveling from  
school to school several times so you will want to check in and get on  
that list.  For a while there the Euro was really high against the  
dollar and good deals were not available but with the currency crises  
over there things have become much more accessible.  With the US  
pursuing a weak-dollar policy (against China) you will want to make  
your deals under the current conditions before the Euro recovers any  
strength.
