What is a Rescue Piano?

At Piano Specialists of Arkansas, we often receive calls from individuals who own beautiful pianos they no longer play and wish to rehome. That’s where our Piano Rescue Program comes in. We acquire these pianos for free, transport them to our facility, and give them the care they deserve, including professional tuning and any necessary repairs. Once ready, we create photos and videos of the piano and post them on our website for those in need of a piano.

Looking For A New Or Gently Used Piano?

At Piano Specialists of Arkansas, we are proud to offer a selection of new and pre-loved pianos to suit a variety of needs and preferences. 

Why Choose a Rescue Piano?

We understand the frustration of investing in a “free” or inexpensive piano (perhaps from Facebook or a friend) only to discover it’s not worth the cost of moving or repairs. Our Rescue Pianos eliminate that risk. Each piano is carefully inspected by our experienced team to ensure it’s worth rescuing. While there are no warranties, these instruments are selected and tuned by experts who care deeply about their craft.

Quality You Can Trust

Rescue pianos go through a rigorous evaluation process to ensure they meet our quality standards. Our team of skilled technicians inspects every component, from the keys to the hammers, to identify and address any functional issues. This attention to detail means that every rescue piano we offer is not just playable but also reliable. While these pianos don’t come with warranties, their selection and preparation are handled with the utmost care by professionals dedicated to their craft.

Affordable and Accessible

The Piano Rescue Program is designed to make owning a quality piano affordable for everyone. Whether you’re a beginner, an experienced player, or someone looking to introduce music into your household, our rescue pianos provide an incredible opportunity. By only covering transportation, tuning, and repair costs, you’re getting a professional-grade instrument at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new or even second-hand pianos.

A Sustainable Choice

Rehoming rescue pianos is also a step toward sustainability. Instead of letting these instruments go unused or deteriorate, we give them a second life. This reduces waste and preserves the beauty and craftsmanship of these timeless pieces. By choosing a rescue piano, you’re not only bringing music into your life but also making an environmentally conscious decision.

Piano Rescue Stories

DH Baldwin piano

Rescued Baby Grand

This DH Baldwin piano was picked up from a home north of Little Rock when we delivered a new digital grand. They didn’t care what happened to it. We made some needed repairs and tuned it, then made some video and photos and began to market it.

A lady in South Haven, MS contacted me after googling for piano movers in Arkansas to transport an upright piano she was getting from a family member. That fell through. I showed her my other “rescue” pianos and this baby grand. She fell in love with it.
Here it is in her home in Mississippi. And she loves the “rescue” concept. The piano finish is not flawless, but she said “neither am I, but Jesus rescued me.”
