The University of Tampa’s Department of Music has partnered with the Rackley Family Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting music education. Musical instruments provided to other educational partners or otherwise made available, will be sold at a significant discount from manufacturer retail pricing to perpetuate this valuable program, providing valuable resources and funding for the UT Department of Music.

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 Steinway & Sons, Yamaha, Seiler, Pramberger, Stravari Fine Violins, and many others. Most of the available instruments are tuned, less than one year of age, include a new factory warranty, and are ready to be transported to their new home. In addition, delivery and special zero interest financing is available on site.

You are invited to attend this unique private sale on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, August 15 – 17, 2024. You will be given the opportunity to purchase with priority in selection and price reductions. To secure an appointment time, please call the Rockley Family Foundation at: (813) 981-3903. This event will be held at the Tampa River Center, 402 W Laurel St., Tampa, FL 33607, and there will be parking available on site.

In a time where creative solutions are needed to maintain a properly equipped music program, the continuation of this initiative is vital in our efforts to further the education of our current and future Spartans. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to support The University of Tampa’s Department of Music.
