I have been asking for one for five years. The only time I got any money was when we had a new chair, and she didn't know I was not allowed to use money from a certain fund. I replaced hammers etc, on the pianos I thought needed them the most, only to find that is not what they wanted. So now, with no budget, whenever there is a need, I go to the piano area chair and the department chair and lay the problem on the table. I do give them a figure of what it will cost, but other than that, I leave the decision entirely up to them.
