Dallas City Performance Hall Selects CFX
The Dallas City Performance Hall, a new high profile arts center in Texas
in the United States, has selected the Yamaha CFX Concert Grand Piano for its
state-ofthe-art 750-seat performance space. Their rigorous evaluation process
included live auditions of several pianos before a panel of V.I.P. music experts,
as well as a careful assessment of their needs by partner dealer, Metroplex Piano.
Metroplex Piano was chosen as being best able to provide a high level of service
and maintenance support for the instrument in its new home.
Dallas City Performance Hall was designed by one of the world's leading architecture
firms, and opened in September 2012. The evaluation committee’s mandate was to
find a grand piano that matched the majesty of this exciting new venue.
