A closet instrument is a musical instrument nobody plays. It sits in the closet year after year while an aspiring musician longs for an instrument to play.
The Albuquerque Folk Festival can help. Instruments are made to be played. When you donate your closet instruments to AFF, we will give you a tax-deductible receipt for its appraised value. Any instrument, not just folk instruments, will do. Local dealers will let us trade for instruments we can use in the Festival workshops. Also, we have arranged for Apple Mountain Music to rent them--proceeds to AFF.
If the instrument is not rentable or usable due to damage, etc., we will offer it for sale by silent auction at the Festival. In any event, your closet instrument will find its way to a player.
E-mail a description of your instrument to us, sponsors@abqfolkfest.org and we'll contact you. Thanks!
