Greetings Hub teachers!
Welcome to the third quarter Teacher Hub newsletter. What a busy term it has been, with numerous mid-year student recitals, bulk piano shipments, and the spectacular Wallace National Piano Competition! It’s been absolutely rewarding to see continued growth of our Hub this year. It’s also been a pleasure to catch-up with several of you during our first ever VIP Hub function. For those that missed out, keep your eyes peeled because we are not yet finished with our line-up for 2019.

Hub Exclusive
Studio Uprights
For this newsletter, I’d like to bring to your attention two new Steinway-designed Essex and Boston studio uprights, Essex EUP123S and Boston UP1128S. The ‘S’ stands for studio and Steinway has designed these models specifically for teachers. As you may have seen from previous emails, we have offered all Hub members and their students exclusive pricing and/or plans for the bulk shipment that we’ve recently received onto our showroom floor. Email me at michelle@lewiseady.co.nz if you need another copy, and as always, please make referrals and you WILL get rewarded if a sale goes through.
Onto the studio uprights with exclusive Hub financing plans, these are highly suited for institutional use. We offer a 24 months repayment plan at 6% interest, no deposit required. Alternatively, we can give a discount on the original RRP. Come in store for a chat and play!

ESSEX EUP123S Ebony high polish $14,300 $540.00
BOSTON UP118S Ebony satin $19,300 $660.38
Essex EUP123S Feature & Specifications
Designed by Steinway & Sons, the Essex institutional upright is made to withstand rigorous playing and use within an educational setting. Features such as the solid spruce soundboard, music desk and bass-sustain pedal makes it institutionally-friendly. You can rest assured of its quality as it meets Steinway’s most significant design and material specifications. This reasonably priced studio piano is not to be missed.
Boston UP118S Feature & Specifications
Essentially the same as a Steinway-designed Boston UP118E model, this smartly-built studio variation comes with a lower price due to its satin finish cabinet. The piano’s inside however, is made for heavy institutional use, effortlessly outperforming competitors with a Steinway-like responsiveness to touch and play. In addition to the bass-sustain pedal, it also boasts a spacious music desk, so there will be less of that frantic page-flipping during practise!
