Art in a New Key

Give retired instruments a beautiful second life—and help a young musician begin theirs.

These one-of-a-kind artworks were created from instruments that have fully completed their musical life. Once part of a student’s learning, practice, and performance, each piece has been thoughtfully transformed into art that honors the joy and possibility music brings.

When you place a bid, you’re doing more than bringing a beautiful, conversation-starting piece into your home: you’re helping We Are Instrumental prepare donated, well-working instruments for children across Northern New York before the school year begins.

Your support helps ensure students can choose an instrument that works beautifully, fits their needs, and can grow with them as they learn. Every bid helps us repair, prepare, and deliver instruments into the hands of young musicians—so no child has to miss the chance to discover what music can mean to them.

Bid generously. Display something meaningful. Help put opportunity in a child’s hands before the first bell rings.
