Vintage music equipment *WANTED* for music education project
Hi everyone, sorry to come in you like this, but i am looking for a big favour.
We (Adventurs of music) are looking for Vintage Musical equipment - anything which was used for music production back in the days: Piano, mixing desk, microphone, old computers, old software (Cubase or Logic etc) and even instruments etc. Anything will be considered. As we have no money left it would be greatly appreciated if you could donate anything to us which is in PERFECT WORKING ORDER and in very good condition. Postage and packaging will
be paid.
All equipment will be used (apart from the back-up lot) to demonstrate the use of vintage equipment to young people accessing our music education project in Edinburgh. This for educational purposes only.
Questions which may be asked:
What exactly is 'Adventures of Music'?
Adventures of music is a new dynamic music educational project aimed at providing young people aged 13-21, who live in Edinburgh, the chance to enter into a short music course of there choice, giving them the basic skills and knowledge in order to go onto further education. We are primarily a stepping stone for young people to help achieve their future goals - whatever that may be.
Why do you need the equipment to be working and in good condition?
We are hoping to obtain x2 of each item we receive. This is because one will be used as back-up incase something happens to the one on display (brakes, gets damaged, building goes on fire - god help us). Now and again young people will beable to use the vintage equipment to see what it was like in old days, as an educational programme which is part of our aimes and objectives. We do not want to display and show the use of vintage equipment which is on it's last legs - it will look awful and will no doubt fall apart after a few uses.
How do i know you are not keeping all this equipment for yourself?
Unfortunatly this is something we cannot proove at this present time as we are awaiting status in order to obtain our licence business number as a non-profit organisation. The project will not be starting untill September next year 2007 - this is in order to have everything set-up and ready. Anyone who knows what it is like starting up a project (especially educational ones), will know it is very difficult and takes a lot of planning and permission from the Scottish Executive (in regards to Education) and laws & regualtions on working with children. If you like, once we have started-up we will send you a copy of clarrification of our business registery details (limited to some parts of course) and will invite you to see the 'vintage suit' and your contribution, and to our open day.
What is in it for me if i donate something?
Your name will be displayed (on permission) on a platter up on the wall stating what you have contributed. You will also be invited to come and see the vintage suite if you wish (at your own travelling cost) and to our open day.
Will you pay for postage and packaging?
Yes of course, after all you have made the effort and have been kind enough to send us the item. Items must be sent via a respectable courier company (we will pay for it).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once we have received your item we will send you a letter confirming this and an invitation to come along to our open day.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope you make a contribution to the young people of our future.
