The University of North Carolina at Charlotte has had the use of new first-class pianos on a no-cost basis for the 2021-2022 school year. This arrangement is provided through an association with the Rockley Family Foundation. These instruments, in addition to instruments provided to other institutions, and instruments made available by various manufacturers will be sold by the Foundation to perpetuate this valuable program.
A large selection of grand pianos, baby grands, digital player grands, vertical (upright) pianos, and digital pianos will be available. This event will feature instruments from such famous makers as Yamaha, Steinway & Sons, Kawai, Disklavier, Clavinova, and many others. Most instruments are less than one year old, include a new factory warranty, and are tuned, and ready to go. Delivery and technical services are provided by Miller Piano. Special no-interest financing is available on site. Moreover, the Rockley Family Foundation indicates that in many cases, a substantial portion of your purchase is considered as a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation and may be tax deductible. You are encouraged to consult with your own tax advisor as to the potential tax deductibility of any such contributions.
BY APPOINTMENT: You are invited to attend a special “private sale” on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, August 4–6 along with our faculty and staff. This will give you an opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reduction. To secure a time call: (704) 661-2792
This event will be held at Robinson Hall for the Performing Arts on the UNC Charlotte campus, 9201 University City Blvd., Charlotte, NC 28223. Cleaning and social distancing protocols will be implemented to provide a safe environment for this sale.

The University is fully supportive of the instrument loan program, which is crucial to the success of our Department of Music.* In a time when creative solutions are needed to maintain a properly equipped fine arts unit, the continuation of this program is an important part of our efforts to promote music education.
