How It Works
1. Choose Your Instrument
Browse our instrument options on our website or stop by the store to discuss if you have questions. If you already know what you need, you can fill out our online rental reservation form ahead of time to make the in-store pickup quick and easy. We carry student, step-up, and specialty instruments to fit every player.
2. Set up Your Rental
Three months’ rental due at signing, then month-to-month billing via your credit/debit card. Add our optional Maintenance Plan for full damage coverage.
3. Enjoy!
Keep renting until you own the instrument outright—100% of payments apply toward purchase. Want to buy early? Get 20% off the payoff balance. Or just return it at any time if you are done.
4. Exchange or Upgrade
For violins, violas, and cellos, you can move to the next size as your student grows; all equity carries over. For band instruments, while on contract, you can exchange for a step-up or pro model and carry forward your equity.
