Bellarmine Fundraiser Piano Sale
Gist Piano Center and several of its business partners are once again joining forces to host a benefit piano sale for the Bellarmine Univeristy Music Department.
If you have been thinking about purchasing a new - or gently used - instrument for your home, you won't want to miss this rare opportunity.
Saturday, June 4, Gist will open its doors to the public for a "first-come, first-served" selling event. Doors will open at 10am and close at 5pm (or until the allocated pianos have all been selected - whichever comes first).
College loaner pianos, closeout models, factory overstock units, "scratch and dent" specials and rental return instruments from such major brands as Boston, Essex, Yamaha, Kawai, Knabe, Knabe, Roland and more will be offered at a fraction of their value for this one-day-only sale.
Priority delivery and special financing offers will be made available to qualified customers at the sale. No dealers please.

Gist Will Hold Piano Festival in Louisville and Lexington This Year
Gist Piano Cener is thrilled to once again participate in Roland Corporation's National Piano Festival.
One of only 12 dealers invited to participate in this exciting event, Gist and Roland have decided to offer registration opportunities to teachers in Louisville and Lexington this year.
Piano Festival students will prepare a special piece on the flagship Roland RM-700 digital piano for a period of four months. Then, in September, judges from Roland will listen to student performers in both cities and select representatives to move on to the semi-finals.
Five finalists will be chosen from amongst these 12 participating sites to participate in the National Piano Festival in Los Angeles this November.
Good luck to all of our students!
