The Department of Music at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County has had access to the use of new first-class pianos on a no-cost basis for the 2023-2024 academic year. This arrangement is provided through a agreement with the Rockley Family Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting music education. The instruments loaned to UMBC, or otherwise made available will be sold at a significant discount from new retail pricing to perpetuate this valuable program and may provide resources to the music department and scholarship money for the music students.

A large selection of grands, baby grands, digital player grands, vertical (upright) pianos, digital pianos, violins, violas and cellos will be available. This event will feature starter to professional level instruments from such famous makers as Yamaha, Bösendorfer, Cristofori, Roland, Italia Fine Violins, and other instrument manufacturers, with a discrete selection of pre-owned Steinway & Sons pianos. Most instruments are less than one-year old, include a new factory warranty, are tuned, and ready to go. Delivery and special no-interest financing is available on site. Moreover, in most cases, a portion of your purchase may be considered as a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation and may be TAX DEDUCTIBLE.*

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY: You are invited to attend a special “private-sale” on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, July 18-20, along with the UMBC faculty and staff. This will give you an opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reductions. To secure a time call: (410) 430-2537
