[pianotech] Any Ideas: Museum looking for funding to rebuilt valuable historic piano

[Ursula Hammerling]

Wim,

I thought someone on the list might have more insight in this than I do, and yes I know it is none of my responsibilities. Thanks for your time. - Ursula

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.

Question:
I am servicing a Chickering 7'8" (ornate case) ca. 1870 in a small museum in NJ. 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?

Thanks,
Ursula Hammerling, RPT
