Music Program to Hold Annual Public Sale of Digital Pianos & Violins  

PianoStudents, alumni, faculty, and friends of Seton Hall University are encouraged to attend the annual Rockley Family Foundation Instrument Sale, which runs from March 10 to 12 in Corrigan Hall. This music sale provides a wide variety of pianos and instruments to anyone that is interested.

As part of its partnership with the Rockley Foundation, the College of Communication and the ArtsMusic program has had access to a variety of different instruments including high-class pianos and orchestral string instruments, all at no cost basis since 1997. 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 are ready to go. Delivery and special no-interest financing is available on site.

In a time when creative solutions are needed to maintain a properly equipped music program, the continuation of this loan program is vital to the Music program's success and to further education in the arts. We invite all to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
