Instrument Donation 

ESYO collects and repairs gently-used band and orchestral instruments in playable and good cosmetic condition. We then place them in the hands of our students who are eager to play but cannot afford an instrument.

To donate and instrument, please contact the ESYO office at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 518.382.7581 to arrange delivery. Cases, bows, metronomes, tuners and music stands are also greatly needed. We do not accept pianos, organs or accordions.

The donor is responsible for estimating the value of the instrument. If verification is needed for tax purposes, please consult a qualified musical instrument appraiser before making a donation. In-kind donations to ESYO are 100% tax deductible.
