KENNESAW, Ga.—The Steinway Piano Factory in New York is sending 57 new and certified used pianos to Atlanta to be sold direct from the factory with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the College of the Arts at Kennesaw State University. The pianos include a variety of models by Steinway and the Steinway-produced Boston and Essex brands.
These pianos will be available for consideration by interested buyers at the Steinway Piano Galleries of Atlanta on Nov. 29, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. An appointment is required; call the KSU College of the Arts at 770-499-3214 for appointment availability.
The Steinway brand is internationally recognized as the epitome of quality in craftsmanship. Each piano is handcrafted and can take up to one year to complete, resulting in an instrument of exceptional quality. Kennesaw State has recently been designated an All-Steinway School after benefactor Bobbie Bailey agreed to purchase 26 pianos, including a Steinway D concert grand piano dedicated in memory of her mother, for the KSU Department of Music.
