The School of Music in the College of Arts and Sciences at Cleveland State University has had the use of new, first-class and digital pianos on a no-cost basis for the 2024-2025 academic year through a partnership with the Rockley Family Foundation, a nonprofit that supports music education. 

These instruments, as well as ones made available to other institutions, will be sold at a significant discount to continue the program and ultimately providing resources to the School of Music.

A large selection of grands, baby grands, digital player grands, vertical (upright) pianos, digital pianos, violins, violas and cellos will be available for purchase.

The event features professional instruments from makers such as Yamaha, Bosendorfer, Schimmel, Kawai, Disklavier, Clavinova, Italia Fine Violins and a selection of vintage Steinway & Sons pianos and many others. Most instruments are less than one-year old, including a 5-to-10-year contract, are tuned and ready to go!

Best of all, a substantial portion of your purchase is considered a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation and may be tax deductible.

The private sale (by appointment only) will be Thursday, May 15 through Sunday May 18. To secure a time, please call 216-905-8261 or visit this website.

The final sale will be on Sunday, May 18 from 2-5 p.m. No appointment is required for the final hours of the sale.

This event will be held on campus in the Music and Communications Building, 2001 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44115.

In a time where creative solutions are needed to maintain a properly equipped music program, we invite you to take advantage of this opportunity and to spread the word to friends and family.
