I reply:

I sure hated to read this! Our pianos are supposed to be changed out next
Wednesday (the sale is next weekend). I was assured that there would be no
down time this year.  We were without the loaner pianos until the middle of
October last year. I sure hope they are true to their word on this. We have
pianos in our inventory that could replace the Yamahas, but the extra
moving around is awful, and it drives our faculty (and me) nuts.
