Music to the Eyes
Noble Art Pianos of Easton, Pa.,
recently arranged the delivery of a

the Sauter semi-concert grand, and it
became part of his display at International
ArtExpo New York, a fine art trade show
held March 25–28.
Noble Art Pianos also
arranged for the
piano to be disassembled
and put back
together again.

pianos is not new in
itself — it has been
done for over 100
years — but Dean’s work is now, new,
contemporary and tasteful,” said Peter
Becker, president of Noble Art Pianos.
“In the past, some treatments were
gaudy. He paints things I would want in
my home.”
