The Princeton Public Schools music department was given the unique opportunity to use many new acoustic pianos at no cost during the 2024 school year. This arrangement was provided through a partnership with the Rockley Family Foundation, recognized by the I.R.S. as a 501(c)(3) organization.* These very instruments, instruments provided to other institutions, and instruments otherwise made available by the Foundation will be sold to perpetuate this valuable program and partnership.

A selection of instruments will be available, including: grand pianos, baby grand pianos, digital player grand pianos, vertical (upright) pianos, digital pianos, violins, violas and cellos. The sale will include instruments made by Pramberger, Seiler, Yamaha, Roland, Stravari Fine Violins, and other instrument manufacturers, with a discrete selection of restored vintage Steinway & Sons pianos. Most instruments have been in service for less than one year, have been tuned, include a warranty and are ready to enjoy. Delivery and special no-interest financing is available on site.

BY APPOINTMENT: You are invited to attend a special “private sale” on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 7-9, along with our faculty and staff. This will give you an opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reductions. This event is by reservation only. To secure an appointment time, please call: (609) 955-8008

This event will be held in the Princeton High School Performing Arts Center, located at the corner of Franklin Avenue and Walnut Lane. For directions and event details (including “virtual appointment” options) please call or visit: RockleyFamilyFoundation.org/Princeton

In a time where creative solutions are needed to maintain a properly equipped music program, the continuation of this loan program is vital to us in our efforts to further education in the arts. We invite you to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.

* If a portion of the purchase price is considered a charitable contribution to the Rockley Family Foundation, used to support the Princeton Public Schools music program, the deductible portion would be limited to the excess of the amount paid over the fair market value at retail of the goods purchased. You should consult with your own tax advisor as to individual deductibility.
