vspace=5> This week, the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (RSAMD) took
delivery of its biggest single investment in instruments - £1 million worth of
Steinway and Yamaha pianos. The 39 instruments were carefully delivered over six
days and will be ready for the students when they arrive at the start of the new
academic year, at the end of September. The pianos have been purchased via the
Musical Instrument Finance Company. They are sponsoring the RSAMD's
International Piano Fellowship over the next three years, enabling a world-class
pianist to teach at the academy.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
