The same applies here with our Kawai program. The dealer _is_ being required to cut back for the next year, so almost all the verticals will be going. That will leave us with a few empty practice rooms but as someone said, that's not really a problem. Larger wind and string instruments prefer that sometimes, anyway. Especially if the room is fairly small. In addition we have a few grands that were loaned to faculty when we started the loan program in order to make room for it. They _could_ be called back into service if needed. Our sale is happening Memorial Day weekend, so we'll see what happens. Avery >Can anyone give me the straight poop on this program?
