Music Program to Hold Sale of Grand Pianos and Select Stringed Instruments March 5-7, 2020  

Students, alumni, faculty, and friends of the university are encouraged to attend the annual Rockley Family Foundation Instrument Sale, which runs from March 5 to 7 in Corrigan Hall. As part of its partnership with the Rockley Foundation, the College of Communication and the Arts' Music program has had access to a variety of different instruments including high-class pianos and orchestral string instruments, all at no cost basis for the 2019-2020 year. This ongoing arrangement is provided through a partnership with the Rockley Family Foundation, recognized by the I.R.S. as a 501(c)(3) organization.* These instruments, instruments provided to other institutions, as well as instruments made available by our manufacturing partners will be sold to perpetuate this valuable program and provide support for the Music Program at Seton Hall.

A 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 Pramberger, Seiler, Yamaha, Roland, Stravari Fine Violins with a discrete selection of used Steinway & Sons pianos, and many others. 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.
