Keyboard Concepts of Southern California has been named “Institutional Dealer of the Year” by Yamaha Corporation of America.
The award was presented to the piano retailer at the 2016 NAMM in Anaheim, California. Keyboard Concepts was among only six piano retailers selected throughout the United States to be honored by Yamaha at the event.
Yamaha recognized Keyboard Concepts with the “Institutional Dealer of the Year Award” for its outstanding sales and marketing success with Yamaha pianos and keyboards in relationship with area colleges and universities.
Accepting the award from Yamaha Keyboard division top management were Keyboard Concepts President Dennis Hagerty and Vice President Jeff Falgien.
“Yamaha has always appreciated Keyboard Concepts,” said Bob Heller, national sales director, Yamaha Keyboard division. “But when you see Dennis and Jeff engaging personally with their institutional customers, you know the universities and colleges they serve are getting the best possible care a Yamaha dealer can provide.”
Keyboard Concepts was founded more than 30 years ago by Hagerty and Falgien and has grown to five locations throughout Southern California. Keyboard Concepts is a factory authorized dealer for Yamaha Premium, TransAcoustic, Disklavier, Silent, AvantGrand and Clavinova digital pianos, as well as Bösendorfer pianos.
