If you happen to be shopping for a top notch piano for your home, here's a handy opportunity. During the month of June, TCU School of Music and PianoTexas International Academy & Festival benefited from the use of new first-class pianos provided on a no-cost basis by the non-profit Rockley Family Foundation. These instruments, along with others, will now be sold to perpetuate this valuable program benefiting PianoTexas. The event will be July 5-7 in Ed Landreth Hall.

A large selection of grands, baby grands, digital player grands, upright pianos, digital pianos, orchestral strings, acoustic and electric guitars will be available. Featured instruments are from such famous manufacturers as Kawai, Pramberger, Seiler, Bechstein, Knabe, Baldwin, Guild, Gretsch, Godin, Peavey, a discrete selection of vintage Steinway & Sons pianos, and many others.

Most instruments are less than one-year old, come with a full factory warranty and are tuned and ready to go. Delivery and special no-interest financing is available on site. Moreover, a substantial portion of your purchase is considered as a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation and may be tax deductible.

There are two ways to view and purchase:

By appointment: You are invited to attend a special "pre-sale" on Friday, July 5 and Saturday, July 6 prior to the general public. This will give you an opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reductions. For more information, contact trockley@mac.com. To secure a time, call ext. 5333.

No appointment: You may attend the final sale day on Sunday, July 7, from noon – 5 p.m. without an appointment
