To the Alumni, Faculty, Staff, Students and Friends of Wayne State University:

For the past academic year, the Wayne State University Department of Music has had the beneﬁt of pianos from the Kawai Piano Company through a mutually beneﬁcial loan program.

These excellent quality pianos are now available to the recipients of this letter for a fraction of the price you would normally pay. All of these ﬁnely crafted pianos have been professionally maintained and will include a full factory warranty and in-home tuning provided by the Kawai
Companyʼs local agent, Evola Music.

The piano sale will take place at the Wayne State University Oakland Center, located at 33737 West Twelve Mile Road just West of Farmington Road. The selection will include grand, vertical and digital pianos. This event will also feature a limited number of new and used pianos from Yamaha, Steinway and more. For those who are interested in the latest technology, some of the most sophisticated player pianos will also be featured.
