Play It Forward accepts gently used instruments for children who desire to study an instrument but lack the resources to purchase an instrument. Because our goal is to gift instruments that can be used by a student for up to 5 years, practicing 2 hours per day we do not accept instruments with the following flaws:

*sticking keys
*missing pads
*rust
*cracked wood

After donors have checked their instruments for viability, they are required to fill out our intake form. Donors will be contacted with the option to drop off their instrument at our location or opt to have their instrument picked up.

We look forward to taking the next steps towards getting your instrument into the home of a student.
