So go in ahead of time and check out the selection and get in front ahead of the line. If you know the piano that you want, they can hold it for you with a deposit til the sale starts. After you have stepped through the Art Nouveau portals of Montreal’s oldest (1896) and largest music emporium, head to the second floor, where you’ll discover the grand salon piano department. It is here that the Yamaha pianos from camps at Orford and Lanaudiere are being cleared out. There are pianos from their regular stock on sale as well
