I am pleased to share a heartwarming opportunity with you. Mrs. Shari Schrader, a retired staff member, and her family have generously offered to donate two exceptional instruments that belonged to their late musician parents.
The donated items include:
-A 2014 Yamaha Baby Grand in excellent condition, with its rich sound, is perfectly suited for both intimate small spaces and grand large spaces
- A Stradivarius Violin, known for its rich, warm, and powerful sound
Both instruments are currently stored with a professional instrument storage company. If you're interested in acquiring one or both, please email directly at [REDACTED] from your personal email address. she'll provide additional information and guide you through arranging a delivery date that suits you with the storage company.
This kind and generous gesture by Mrs. Shari Schrader and her family presents a unique opportunity; I encourage anyone interested to take advantage of it
