Our Mission
At the Gift of Music, our mission is to create access to musical instruments and education through innovative, needs-based programs. We receive instrument and accessory donations of all kinds from all over the country! All donated instruments that are school-appropriate are refurbished in our state-of-the-art Instrument Repair Center and put into our scholastic program, Access to Instruments which assists at-risk students in acquiring a band-director approved, quality-brand instrument, whatever their budget. All other donations such as guitars, vintage and professional instruments are sold in the Gift of Music Store – not only do the funds from these sales help us keep the lights on, they allow for us to buy brand new instruments for our scholastic program!
If you’re in the Atlanta Metro Area, please stop by for a tour of our facility!

Kacie K.
Vintage Reynolds Hi-Fi Cornet (1956)
“Fast shipper. Received the horn today and played it for about 3 hours. The valves are TIGHT with great compression. Intonation is dead on. The main tuning slide was easy to pull, and the case was easy to repair with the parts included. This is an example of the great vintage horns you can get if you can do a little repair work. I couldn’t be happier. It is far better than described.”
Dan M.
Yamaha YSL-897Z Custom Z Professional Trombone
“Great communication. Fast shipping. EXCELLENT packing. Very happy. When I read the ad I thought the description must have been very optimistic. Nope, spot on. Better than I was expecting. A little more than I wanted to spend, but it was worth it.”
