NAMM recognized Bonita Springs FL-based Steinway Piano Gallery at the Top 100 Dealer Awards ceremony, dedicated to honoring America’s best music products and instrument stores. The Best Promotion award was presented to Steinway Piano Gallery at Summer NAMM in Nashville TN. Steinway Piano Gallery was also honored as one of America’s Top 100 Dealers. “The real credit for this prestigious award goes to more than 50 doctors and 100 volunteers who have helped make this program a success over the last seven years,” said Greg Billings, Owner of Steinway Piano Gallery. “We are thrilled to have been able to raise over $155,000 for the Neighborhood Health Clinic and over $50,000 for our Steinway Piano Society scholarship programs.”
Music product retailers were judged using a numeric rating by a panel of impartial expert judges selected by, but not otherwise affiliated with, NAMM. Steinway Piano Gallery received this recognition because its efforts and business exemplified the best in category among peers in musical instrument and product retailing from around the country. “It has been gratifying to see how the rediscovery of performing music has had a life-changing effect on the physicians,” Billings continued.
“The Top 100 Dealer Awards are an opportunity for NAMM members to come together and celebrate excellence in retailing. I suspect many NAMM members will use these winning ideas in their own businesses, leading to an improvement in the entire trade,” said NAMM President and CEO Joe Lamond.
