Donate instruments and
help us place put them in students' hands.
The Symphony League of San Antonio collects gently used (or even well-loved!) instruments to place in the hands of local school music programs. With budgets shrinking, many teachers are eager to launch or expand their programs but simply don’t have enough instruments for their students. By donating, you’re helping open the door to music education - an opportunity that enriches learning, builds confidence, and inspires creativity.
What we accept: Almost any instrument, in any condition - strings, woodwinds, brass, guitars, and more. Our team will evaluate and refurbish them as needed to ensure they’re ready for the classroom.
How you can help: Take a look through your closets, attics, and shelves - let’s bring the music back to life in your instrument! We’ll even arrange pickup and provide a receipt for your tax-deductible donation.

Instrument Donation Coordinator to schedule your pickup.
Instrument Deliveries - The Impact
Since the inception of this program in 2024, nearly 300 instruments and music accessories have been placed in schools across five area districts: Edgewood ISD, Harlandale ISD, Southwest ISD, Northside ISD, and Judson ISD.
Thank you, donors!
Because of your generosity, more young musicians throughout our community now have access to instruments and opportunities that might not otherwise have been possible.
Edgewood ISD alone has received nearly 100 instruments and accessories—including violins, clarinets, flutes, trombones, trumpets, guitars, keyboards, percussion instruments, a bassoon, an oboe, a piccolo, a banjo, a mandolin, and even two pianos!
Brennan High School’s guitar program was also gifted five electric guitars, giving students brand-new opportunities to learn, play, and perform.
And we’re just getting started!
