"Educator Approved" Rentals

Good quality musical instruments can be a significant investment. Renting an instrument for a young musician that is just starting out is a great way to get students making music quickly and easily. Having a student play an old or poor quality instrument that is difficult to play can result in a miserable experience - don't let that happen!

Why Rent from Lamorinda Music?

Simply put, we have the best rental progam in the business:

  1. We rent only top-quality, educator-approved instruments, including Yamaha, Conn, Selmer, Bach, King, Leblanc, Armstrong, Emerson, Getzen, Eastman Strings, and Century Strings.
  2. Our rental prices are very competitive. You will not find a better combination of rental price and instrument quality anywhere - period.
  3. 100% of your rental payments can be applied toward the purchase of the instrument.
  4. You may elect to purchase your instrument at any time during the rental period and receive a 20% discount off the payoff balance.
  5. We offer discounted rental prices on gently used instruments (when available.)
  6. We rent a wider variety of band and orchestra instruments than most, including cellos, french horns (single and double), oboes, and baritones. We also rent guitars, electric basses, amps, and digital pianos.
  7. Violin, viola, and cello players can move up to the next larger size and carry over all rental equity from the smaller-sized instruments.

If your student isn't sure what instrument they wish to play, bring them by the store and we will work with them as they try out different instruments to find the perfect fit.

Some more details of our rental program include:

  • All our rentals are "rent-to-own" - your monthly rental payment goes 100% toward the eventual purchase of your rental intstrument with no limations or restrictions. But you can return it anytime as well once you are done if you don't want to purchase it.
  • There is a 3 month minimum rental payment due at the time of the instrument rental.
  • After the initial 3 month period, rental payments are due monthly. You may return the rental instrument at any time.
  • By default, all our rental payments are done monthly via direct bill to your credit or debit card (going green...) but we offer a pay-by-mail option upon request.
  • Trade-up policy for stringed instruments: Instruments ¾ size or smaller may be exchanged for a larger like instrument with all net payments you have made so far (less any repair costs should instrument be in need of repair) applied toward the cash price of the larger sized instrument. If you have paid off the instrument, you have 90 days from instrument payoff date to trade the instrument for a larger size without loss of equity.
  • Exchange policy for all Instruments: During the first 90 days of this contract you may exchange your instrument, with all net payments you have made applying toward the price of the next instrument.
  • You must maintain the instrument in good working order. You will be responsible for maintenance and repair costs for any issues beyond normal wear and tear.
