As a not-for-profit social enterprise we sell used pianos with permission from our piano donors, though neither a shop nor a dealer, we are something in between. In actuality, we offer more of a 'Piano Transplant Service', connecting people with pianos and offering long term no-interest payment plans, increasing access to and appreciation of acoustic pianos for people in Glasgow and beyond.
Our next event will find us back at the Burrell Collection for another 'Lids Open Day' on Sunday January 25th from 11.30am till 4.30pm. The piano will be free to play in the central auditorium . . . with a performance at 1pm of traditional Scots tunes from 'Soteria Duo'. Please register by email . . . here . . . with a rough time of when you intend to come along as this always helps us coordinate things, though, the invitation is always there to . . . Just Turn up and Play!
