Instrument Bank
Our instrument bank consists partly of Susanne Beer's personal collection of cellos and bows. Susanne made these available to her students in order to give them the best possible chance in their musical endeavours. The Foundation loans these cellos and bows to talented young cellists, in Susanne's memory.
Since the Foundation was established, the collection has grown thanks to generous donations of cellos; fundraising efforts; and cash donations that have allowed us to purchase several new cellos. We hope to continue to grow our collection in order to support more young cellists. We welcome donations or loans of cellos, bows and cases of all sizes and levels. Please be in touch if you have a cello, bow or case that might be able to support a young musician.
Students who resident in UK or on a student visa, aged 23 or less, can apply to borrow a cello for up to three years. In deciding on loans we consider the financial situation of the family / student, as well as playing ability, preferring to loan cellos to those who are financially disadvantaged. Our fine cello loans are for those who wish to become professional musicians. Please be in touch if you would like to enquire about availability.
