Here is what you can expect in our complimentary inventory analysis:
The important first step will be performed in conjunction with the institution's piano technician and/or department head. As part of our university and college piano services, the Steinway Inventory Analysis begins with an inspection and evaluation of the school’s entire piano inventory. Next, we will compile a comprehensive report that lists the condition, market value, and recommendations for repair and/or replacement of every instrument on campus. This evaluation report is not only a powerful tool for educators to help them forecast and budget for additional new equipment, it is a valuable service offered by Steinway Piano Gallery of Kansas City at no cost or obligation to your school.

Most educators agree that Steinway pianos are essential to their music programs. We understand educators also have to deal with economic realities. Fortunately, as the local Steinway dealer, we have the resources and programs to make our pianos affordable within even the most stringent capital and operational budgets. The Steinway 5-Year Inventory Plan is a logical starting point to becoming an All-Steinway School.
With the information supplied by the inventory analysis, we can help institutions design an ongoing maintenance program, which can extend the useful life and preserve financial resources. If complete rebuilding is in order, two options are offered for Steinway Pianos: We have a complete rebuilding shop, utilizing factory-trained technicians and Steinway parts exclusively. As an alternative, the Steinway Restoration Center is also available.
After determination of needs and priorities in piano use, the inventory evaluation will include a multi-year plan for piano replacement. The investment in quality pianos has been shown to pay off in financial as well as musical benefits. The appreciation in value and longer-term use provide real savings to the institution. Steinway pianos have a history of financial appreciation and long life, as well as established professional acceptance. The Boston piano, designed by Steinway, is a product which can meet many institutional needs, and is more modestly priced. With a combination of quality pianos, quantity institutional pricing, trade-in options, and a new institutional lease program, the school or church can greatly improve its piano inventory in a manner which is truly economical, both short term and long term.
