GigSpace has been most fortunate and very thankful for the gracious loan of an acoustic grand piano for the past few years from Al Whatmough of Pianocraft, Ottawa.  Because of Al’s generous loan, GigSpace has attracted some of the best jazz pianists from Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and New York to perform in our beautiful venue.

​

The time has come for GigSpace to purchase a grand piano.  We are very excited as we pull together a series of grand piano fundraising events, especially with the support we are receiving from Ottawa pianists, local businesses and the continued generosity of the community!

We are planning to purchase a gently used Yamaha 6′ grand piano.
