At Wind & Reed, we believe that music has the power to shape lives. It’s more than just selling fine vintage and professional-level saxophones, it’s about investing in the next generation of musicians.

That’s why for every saxophone we sell, we donate 5% of the proceeds directly to the public school music program of the buyer. Whether you’re a student upgrading to a step-up horn, a professional expanding your collection, or a parent supporting your child’s musical journey, your purchase helps bring more music into your local classrooms.

How It Works

• You buy a vintage saxophone from Wind & Reed.
• At checkout, write in your home town, city, or specific school music program into the note field.
• We donate 5% of the sale price to a public school music program serving that community.

Why It Matters

Music education is more than an extracurricular activity; it’s a foundation for creativity, discipline, and self-expression. For many students, school music programs are the first (and sometimes only) place they encounter the joy of making music, the camaraderie of performing in an ensemble, and the confidence that comes from mastering a skill.

But across the country, these programs are often the first to face cuts when budgets tighten. Instruments go unrepaired. Sheet music becomes a shared resource. Opportunities to perform, compete, or travel disappear due to lack of funding. Talented students can be left behind simply because they can’t afford a working instrument or basic supplies.

At Wind & Reed, we want to change that, one saxophone at a time. By donating a portion of each sale back to public school music programs in our customers’ communities, we’re not just putting historic instruments into the hands of passionate players, we’re helping ensure there’s a stage for the next generation to play on. It’s our way of giving back to the towns that raised so many of today’s musicians and helping keep the sound of progress alive.

Your Purchase Can Help Fund:

• Instrument repairs and replacements
• Sheet music and teaching materials
• Travel assistance for performances and competitions
• New stands, tuners, reeds, and more

Every vintage saxophone we place in a new home helps support a young musician who’s just starting out.
