How To Donate A Piano to Distinguished Artists

Your piano will be professionally inspected and appraised. Assuming it is a viable musical instrument and given a clean bill of health, a team of movers will then be dispatched to pick it up. Once the piano has been received by Distinguished Artists you will receive a letter of acknowledgement and a copy of the appraisal for tax purposes. There is no cost to you and you may claim the piano’s fair market value as a tax deduction. Thanks for your generous gift!
