A generous community member from the Fairfax area recently called the Academy about donating her acoustic upright piano to a good home. If anyone is interested in accepting this donation, please contact us asap.
The piano (pictured above) is a Fisher acoustic upright. The piano itself would be free of charge (to a good home); however, the recipient is required to pay for the moving expense, which averages $300-$500 (when using a professional piano moving company) depending on the distance traveled, number of stairs involved, etc. Also, acoustic pianos usually require a tuning from a professional piano tuner after a move as well.
If you think you have a need (and a space) for this piano, it’s a great opportunity to look into. As per usual, we will handle this on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please email us at academy@gmu.edu (no phone calls please).
