The University awarded a contract for Steinway Grand Concert Piano to Steinway Piano Gallery, Elmhurst, IL, for $83,395.
The University is replacing the 9' concert grand Steinway piano in Breakey Theater. The current piano is 40 years old and no longer holds tune. This piano was already rebuilt once during the 40 years and is past its usable life expectancy for a piano utilized for institutional use. With proper care, we expect the new piano to last 30-40 years.
This purchase is only economically available from a single source because the compatibility of equipment, accessories, replacement parts, or service is a paramount consideration.
