SCHOOL YEAR RENTAL FEES
(INCLUDES DAMAGE PROTECTION)
We want to make your renting experience as easy as possible. All of our instruments are serviced and tested with a four-point check by our experienced staff and repair technicians before they are sent out. We do all of our rental repairs if anything happens to the instrument and we provide a free loaner instrument (pending on availability) while your rental gets serviced.
We only rent instruments that meet or exceed school district quality standards. Our brass and most woodwind instruments are American-made and we proudly stand behind our rental instruments. We have European-Made string instruments that we professionally set up in store by our owner & repair tech, Brian, and long-time repair tech, Bill. They custom-fit all bridges & sound posts in-house to ensure the best sound quality and playability.
If this is your first time renting, our helpful staff is more than happy to explain how to take care of and maintain your new instrument.
