CMU 2791 - Grand Piano for CMU New Theater

Colorado Mesa University (CMU) is excited to announce the opening of a new theater on our campus in Grand Junction,
Colorado. The state of the art facility will open its doors in the Fall of 2024 with Furniture, Fixture & Equipment [FF&E]
deliveries being finalized August 2024. An important instrument to showcase in our venue will be the addition of a new
grand piano. The selection of the correct piano will be critical for the campus departments served by the theater and
will provide a highlight to the exciting performances to be scheduled at our venue by the University’s selected managing
partner, OVG Facilities, LLC.
CMU faculty have specified four brands and models that best represent the minimum performance characteristics
desired by CMU. The selected four are [no order of preference, all are acceptable]:
Bösendorfer 280 VC
Shigeru Kawai SX-EXL
Steinway D Ebony Polish
Yamaha CFX Polished Ebony Grand
The purchase of the grand piano represents an investment for the University and will help establish a measure of
performance expected of any additional piano acquisitions for the University. The delivery window timeframe for the
piano is July/August 2024.
