Buy any Alex.Steinbach or Samick piano and pay it off monthly for up to three years interest free. Approval generally takes 1-2 business days. Buy any Alex.Steinbach or Samick piano and pay it off monthly for up to three years interest free. For all other brands and secondhand pianos, receive two years interest free. Apply online. |

General Finance Hutchings Pianos accept a range of GE credit cards. The most popular card for piano purchases is GE CreditLine, providing two interest free options. The first one - called Interest Free - requires minimum monthly repayments. While the minimum repayments won't pay the balance completely, it does make it easier to pay off the balance before the interest free period ends (6, 12 or 24 months). The other type – Buy Now Pay Later – gives you 6, 12 or 24 months interest free, where you don't have to make any monthly repayments. Use that time to pay the balance in full before the interest free period ends, and you won't pay any interest at all. Apply in store, or read more and apply online here. |

Yamaha Piano Awards Yamaha seeks to help schools with under-developed music programs, and regional schools and communities with a lack of music facilities, by providing new pianos to schools across Australia. The school or community-based venue that demonstrates the greatest need to create or expand their music program – or improve the general musical life of the area – will be the recipient of a brand new Yamaha piano.
