Thank you for your interest in donating a piano to the Piano Bank!
Here are our general guidelines for pianos that are good candidates for the Piano Bank:
- Pianos less than 50 years old*
- No digital or electronic pianos or organs
- Pianos that are clean of any signs of mold or rodent droppings
- Cabinet damage, including scrapes and water stains, are acceptable
Upright pianos (those that go against the wall) are typically the best for placements; however, we have had donors give grand pianos that are used for fundraising. The Steinway Piano Society reserves the right to determine the best use of your donation.
*While older upright pianos are often beautiful to look at, they require thousands of dollars in repairs to make them playable for a student. We will verify the age of your piano when we receive your donation form.
