Hello list,
 
Does anyone currently working at a college or  university know of a situation 
in which that institution owns a large grand  and rents it out to outside 
parties? Or, charges rent on it when an artists  visits and performs either on 
campus or locally??
 
Any replies welcomed. 
 
Thank you in advance.

At UA, the department charges anyone not associated with the university  
$1000 for the use of the Concert Hall, and $500 for the use of the Recital Hall.  
That money goes to the department. Plus, they have to hire a door manager, a  
stage manager, a technical/lighting manager, a backstage manager, and a  
housekeeper, all at $25 per hour, minimum 4 hours, all of whom get  paid 
separately. (Checks made out to the individuals.) And If they  want the piano tuned, 
they have to pay me my going rate. Special rent  consideration is given to school 
and churches, but not the managers, etc. We  have about a dozen or so of 
these events scheduled per year.
