Donate an instrument

A musical instrument is not just an object — it carries a story passed down from generation to generation. If you own such an instrument, you can give it new life in the hands of a talented musician, enabling them to fully develop their artistry and continue the legacy of those who played the instrument before. Master instruments are not merely tools of the trade; they are the key to perfect sound and interpretative depth.

If you wish for your instrument to remain in your possession while still serving musicians, you can choose to loan it.

Which instruments do we accept?

The foundation accepts master instruments suitable for professional use by members of the Czech Philharmonic, or for use by talented young musicians preparing for their future careers.

Each instrument undergoes expert evaluation to ensure that it meets the standards required for professional performance or educational purposes.
