Rockley Family Foundation Piano Sale

Pianos, Digital Pianos & Violins Available for Public Purchase

Thursday, May 13  |  Friday, May 14  |  Saturday, May 15, 2021

The Cleveland State University School of Music has had the use of new first-class pianos and digital pianos on a no-cost basis for the 2020-2021 school year. This arrangement is provided through a partnership with the Rockley Family Foundation, a nonprofit that supports music education. These instruments, as well as ones provided to other institutions or otherwise made available, will be sold at a significant discount from retail pricing to perpetuate this valuable program and provide 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. This event will feature starter to professional instruments from such famous makers as Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Seiler, Estonia, Pramberger, Disklavier, Clavinova, Stravari Fine Violins, a discrete selection of vintage Steinway & Sons pianos, and many others. Most instruments are less than one year old, include a new factory warranty, are tuned, and ready to go. Delivery and special no-interest financing is available on site. Moreover, in most cases, a "substantial portion" of your purchase is considered as a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation and may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.*

BY APPOINTMENT: You are invited to attend a special "private sale" on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, May 13-15, along with our faculty and staff. This will give you an opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reductions. To secure a time, call: (216) 905-8261.

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