<DIV>At the University of Alabama we had a no rent policy. The only exception
was for university events, and then only for events where one of the music
faculty or student was going to be using the piano. The request had to be
approved by the chairman. We did make a few exception when the requests
came from higher up. The only piano I allowed to be taken out was a 30 year
old Kawai KG 1 from a practice room. But under no circumstances was any of our
concert instruments taken out of the building. </DIV>

<DIV>I would highly recommend you have your school adopt the same policy. As
Conrad said, the school should not be in the piano rental business. </DIV>
