Special Offer From Palacio Piano
Dear
IIDA Members,
On Wednesday evening, June 11, 2008,
The Palacio Piano Collection, Inc.'s billing office was hit by a tornado
that was about a block wide. This tornado destroyed more than 60
homes, damaged more than 123 homes, damaged more than 12 businesses,
and damaged Kansas State University (20 million in damages thus
far) in Manhattan, Kansas. It was devastating to so many
people. We have supported IIDA and ASID members for a very long time
now and will continue to do so when we rebuild and repair the damages. We
would like to reach out to all IIDA and ASID members and let them know that we
have several art case and traditional grand pianos that we wish to sell way
BELOW appraisal values and at wholesale prices. We are
significantly reducing all our pianos (none of them were damaged) to assist us
in rebuilding. This offer is ONLY valid with IIDA and ASID
members and not the public. We will screen all purchasers so that only
IIDA and ASID members will benefit. Please contact us directly at
785-341-7795 and/or email us at
katherine@palaciopianos.com
for all
the piano pictures and details. We hope to hear from you... take
care, Katherine Poole, Owner.
Pictures of the tornado and
disaster are on www.youtube.com (type in "
Manhattan ,
KS tornado").
We have pianos for your clients
starting at $15,000 and attached just a few pictures for you to view. We would
really like to gain some support to move these pianos in your client's
homes. All the margin on our pianos will go to you... the
designer. Thank you in advance for your support and
kindness.
Kindest
Regards,
Katherine
