Thanks to its long history, the Czech Music Fund has many assets at its disposal, which allow to renovate pianos and purchase new ones by buying from private sellers or orchestras.
At a time when elementary art schools were closed due to government measures against the spread of COVID-19, pianos were being returned back, but, otherwise, the interest in piano rentals has always been at a constant.
The fund offers the possibility of renting from six months to an indefinite period. The rental fee is from 350 to 800 crowns per month.
The Czech Music Fund was one of six cultural funds established by the state in 1954. Five years after the Velvet Revolution, the enterprise passed to the Czech Music Fund Foundation, which then established a non-profit company in the late 1990s.
Since then, the fund has been providing services related to musical activity. In addition to instruments, it lends musical materials for concert performances or for study purposes.
