FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11/24/09
(Dallas, Texas) --- Casey D. Saliba, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Steinway Hall – Dallas/ Fort Worth/ Plano, has announced that the Dallas piano showroom will open its doors Thursday, December 3 through Sunday, December 6, to buyers who have been waiting for the right time to invest in a Steinway or Steinway-designed Boston or Essex piano.
The Steinway Hall Dallas piano event will include estate, vintage, pre-owned, used, and select new Steinway or Steinway-designed Boston and Essex pianos. Steinway Hall – Dallas/ Fort Worth/ Plano is Steinway & Sons’ exclusive dealer in North Texas.
“A Steinway piano is an instrument that combines the joy of musical perfection with the security and reassurance of financial appreciation,” said Mr. Saliba, a second-generation executive with Steinway Hall. “It is, quite simply, a treasured possession that grows in value over the course of time.”
“This is an extraordinary opportunity for those seeking one of our pianos to save thousands of dollars on a beautiful, substantially-discounted Steinway or Steinway-designed piano,” stated Danny Saliba, Steinway Hall – Dallas President.

A Forbes magazine study revealed that Steinway grand pianos outperform such other notable investments as exotic cars, vintage wines, and classic yachts; a fifteen-year-old Steinway included in the Forbes study more than doubled in value, while a fifty-year-old Steinway can be worth four times its original purchase price.
“The pianos are more than just an investment, of course,” Danny Saliba continued. “They are timeless creations passed on with pride as beloved family heirlooms.”

Notable pianos available for purchase:
1860 Art Case piano: For centuries, artisans have decorated musical instruments as a means of expressing their creativity. And, for over 150 years, Steinway pianos have provided an inspirational canvas. Steinway & Sons, long recognized as the maker of the world's finest pianos, began creating Art Case pianos in 1857. Perhaps the most famous Steinway Art Case grand piano, ornately decorated by the English artist Alma Tadema in the late 1800's, was sold at auction in 1997 for $1,200,000. Another Steinway Art Case piano, serial number 300,000, currently resides in the East Room of the White House. And Steinway Art Case piano serial number 100,000, the first White House piano, is now on display at the Smithsonian Institution. This renowned style was the design upon with Steinway & Sons based the new William E. Steinway Limited Edition piano. Our Art Case piano was built in 1860 and will require a rebuild; purchase price can include the rebuild.
