What we need NO PIANOS NEEDED
Please note that only small instruments in working order (guitars, violins, percussion, recorders, etc) should be dropped off.
Please do not deliver large instruments like pianos to drop-off points. If you want to donate a piano, organ or drum kit, please contact Philip Feinstein who will try to arrange transportation direct to the appropriate detention centre if they require such an instrument.
