2005 Dear Prospective Buyer: Please find the attached overview on KeyArts products and services for your kind attention. As you begin the decision process of a fine piano purchase, feel free to contact me with any questions you might have. I will enjoy working with you toward your goal. KeyArts was founded in 1975 with the purpose of providing the best instruments available to musicians and institutions at affordable prices. Since I was an authorized dealer for Baldwin and Kawai pianos in the 1970 s I also recognized the intrinsic high quality of Yamaha and Kawai pianos as compared to any other. Today I offer factory refurbished / rebuilt Yamaha and Kawai instruments that will provide a second lifetime of use. We also represent American heritage with the prestigious Mason & Hamlin piano line. Yamaha and Kawai both enjoy an enviable reputation for quality construction...so much so that their pre-enjoyed instruments are in serious competition with their new pianos. Who would not want that problem! What a joy it is to own and play this level of quality for half or less the price of new! Mason & Hamlin, the 150 year old American piano company, produces custom built grands from 5 8 to the 9 4 Concert. This is the only investment grade, professional piano built in America which competes with Steinway and high-end European instruments. Additional lines of pianos are Hardman - Peck and Schulze Pollmon, as well as Viscount Digital pianos. As a classically trained pianist, organist and experienced church musician, I intuitively understand the necessity of meeting your musical expectations and budgetary demands. In representing this variety of superlative pianos to a range of buyers with various needs and requirements, I am delighted to say that we have had nothing but accolades and approbations for our pianos. I hope we can satisfy your interest in a fine world-class musical instrument. I thank you for your consideration and I look forward to visiting with you to show our variety of pianos for every need. Cordially, C. Anthony Pessarra, owner

Mason & Hamlin is the foremost American built piano and competes with Steinway as one of the only two pianos in America considered to be of Investment Grade quality.
