Look, here is the truth. Pianos arent cheap. Especially concert pianos. Concert grand pianos are well over 8ft in length mostly +9ft. These instruments have intricate and well crafted parts that come together to give the magical presence of a piano.
Then, theres the economies of demography. Many piano manufacturers have moved production to China. In order to keep prices competitive, theres need to be clever with production costs.
Therefore pianos arent cheap especially those hailing from Europe and Western countries. Meanwhile, we find ourselves looking for popular brands that we know or have heard of.
However, there are many ways of getting a piano.
One could save coin to coin, find a deffered payment terms and for orginizations set up a fundraiser.
One such popular engagement is the 88 keys piano project. This is done through taking the full price of the piano and dividing it to 88 keys. Therefore, individuals can buy a key or more. In no time funding the full amount. Orchestras around the world have used this approach.
Within Africa, Nakestra could help arrange a funding of this nature to various groups, ensembles and or orchestras.
We have noticed a current influx of performers setting up stages and planning events. This could prove an amazing way of getting assets to the hands of the performers. One such manufacturer that works well with funding programs is Steinway & Sons. Other piano manufacturers are able to adapt to such an arrangement. Churches, Schools and halls are highly encouraged to join in.
Would be nice to see Nairobi orchestra with a Steinway model D on thier stage.
