Ursala Whether it's to rebuild an historic piano, or replacing the roof, the historical society should be able to do it's own fund raising. I realize getting money for the piano is in your best interest, but how they get the money is not your responsibilty.

They are looking to rebuild it but lack the funds. They would like to raise the funds but have little experience with raising funds for the restoration of a historical instrument. Have you had any experience with obtaining public funding, funding from historical societies? Do you have any other good ideas how to best approach this?
