Found a home!

🎹 Free Piano Opportunity! 🎹

We have been given the opportunity to help connect a free piano with a family who would love to have one—especially a child who would enjoy learning, practicing, or simply making music at home.

This is the first piano available through a new project we are starting, where we serve as the go-between to help place donated pianos with people who need them.

The piano is available for delivery and will be offered first come, first served.

If you or someone you know has a child or family who would truly enjoy having a piano, please message us for more details. We would love to help this piano find a wonderful new home! 🎶
