The Battelle Steinway, CMColumbus' outstanding 9' concert grand piano, is available to rent for suitable use at concerts, recitals, etc. About this piano, Barbara Zuck, Senior Critic for the Columbus Dispatch wrote in a review in March, 2002:

"Playing the rededication performance of a Steinway concert grand that has been silent for far too long, Kuerti demonstrated an almost infinite array of colors and timbres; in his hands the recently refurbished piano proved worthy of its new name, the Battelle Steinway.  ...  Moreover, if there had been any worries about the Battelle Steinway's ability to speak with authority at top volume, the performance of the Schumann Fantasy erased every concern. Kuerti released the instrument's majestic capabilities, leaving no doubt that the piano will serve its new owner, the Columbus Chamber Music Society, ably for many years to come."

If you are interested in renting this piano, or simply learning more about it, just send a message to: mailto:steinway@CMColumbus.org or phone 614-267-2267.

 Please consider joining the society if you share our passion for fine music.
