The Spirio Customer

While we are seeing new Spirio|r institutional buyers (mostly from education, entertainment and hospitality industries), Spirio|r home-use buyers align very closely with Spirio purchasers - the average Spirio customer is a male business executive who does not play, does not request traditional model selection, is more space sensitive than price sensitive, and purchases Spirio because it provides more ways to rationalize a Steinway purchase.*
