Used pianos and other instruments for children participating in MusicLink are needed. The program provides scholarships for private music lessons for needy students.

The nationwide program, run by the Music Teachers National Association, was started in 1993, but is just now beginning in Spokane.

Organizers also need skilled people who can repair, tune, and move pianos.
