[pianotech] Costco/Yamaha

[Paul T Williams]

Sherman Clay has done this for a long time...not with Steinway, but Kohler 
and Campbells' when I was the warehouse manager learning this wonderful 
trade nearly 20 years ago!!  We had a specific inventory just to ship 
around the state to various Costco's.  Not sure if they still do this. 
Maybe with Boston and Essex pianos(?)

Hey Seattle....do they still do this??

    Wandering through our local Cosco's "aisles of beauty" this morning I 
was attracted to live piano music coming from the middle of the store.  It 
was eminating from a new Yamaha baby grand (couldn't see the model) with a 
Disklavier doing the playing.  Price was $16,999.  What was surprising was 
the assortment of 6 other various Yamahas.  Another baby grand w/o player 
and several studios and consoles were displayed.  They attracted a lot of 
attention, but I don't know how many actually were sold.  No sales person 
was in evidence.  Looks like warehouse clubs are into the piano business 
big time, at least ours is......
