Testimonials

We have just received our Grand Boston piano and we are thrilled. The children are continuously asking to touch and try the piano. They cannot wait to take lessons. I am dreaming of being able to play the piano too. I just want to let you know that this is a dream coming true and a gift in memory of my mother and the dear grandmother of our children.

On behalf of NRS productions, I would like to thank you and all your staff for the excellent service provided during the porchase and set-up of our new Steinway model 'L'. As I am sure you are aware, it is essential that a piano in a recording studio environment be maintained in absolute peak condition at all times and, to that effect, your Service Department Manager, Karen, and especially your technicians have been brilliant! Our clients have been nothing short of amazed at the beauty and playability of this fine instrument. It is certainly a great feeling to know that we have such wonderful support from you and we are looking forward to working with you in the future.

Thank you so much for opening up Steinway Hall for sylvia and I to rehearse over the Christmas Holidays. It was great to have a quiet place to prepare and focus for the performance which was a success. The Cathedral was filled with an appreciative audience. It was a great experience and again I thank you for your generosity and the hospitality of your staff.

- Derek Zhi Guang Chiu (Concert Pianist)

On behalf of the Alberta Psychiatric Association I would like to thank you for your generosity in allowing us to use the Steinway piano that Dr. Kogan played during his presentation on March 25th -- and for arranging its transportation and tuning. Our members enjoyed the evening so much that I have invited Dr. Kogan back for next year, hopefully to do a similar presentation on Sergei Rachmaninoff. Dr. Kogan has asked me to express to you his appreciation for your help and advice in setting up the piano prior to his presentation. Again many thanks -- and I do hope you will be able to repeat your generosity for Dr. Kogan's concert next year.
