Hi Folks... Here is the scoop about Steinway's "loan program". If you have any questions, please contact Bob Snyder at: rjsnyder@ix.netcom.com ____________________________________________________________ >>The head of our piano performance area here at Wichita State just >>recieved a letter of invitation to dinner and a presentation on a new >>piano loan program by Steinway! Hi John - PLEASE copy and post this to the tech mailing list. There is no "piano loan program by Steinway". Period. We are arranging dinners with University Music Dept. heads though.... and our presentation is, in fact, the complete opposite of a "loan" program. What we are presenting is an "ownership" program. It is a very exciting program - which we've already witnessed as being very powerful with regard to helping Universities upgrade their asset base related to owned piano inventory. The U. of Georgia just acquired (not a loan) 46 (forty-six) new Steinway pianos.... Again, there is NO "piano loan program by Steinway"! >>>The invitation was sent, by Steinway in >>>New York (not the local dealer) to piano dept heads and is scheduled >>>directly following the NAMT convention in Kansas City this month. > >>>That's all I know (except that *I* wasn't invited :(. To Alan Crane: we'd love to meet with you and go over the program with you. Give us a call at our 800 number in New York: (800-366-1853) and leave a message for Ron Losby. He'll call you and tell you all the details. I hope that clears things up a bit....
