We offer a flexible rent-to-own program that enables students to try beginning band without their parents needing to commit to the purchase of an instrument. New and used instruments are available. The rental payments are applied to the purchase of the instrument; however, there is no obligation to purchase.
- Rental payments are paid monthly after the initial rental period – typically the first month.
- The first six months are interest free. Starting the 7th month, there is a monthly finance charge on the unpaid balance. However, your payment does not change.
- The balance can be discounted 20% when you decide to purchase the instrument.
- We also offer easy plans for trading up to performance level instruments.

Program Flexibility
Our program is a month-to-month rent-to-own program with an option to purchase the instrument. As a rental customer, you will have the ability to adapt to your child’s changing needs and desires. Your rental instrument can be exchanged at any time with no penalty. If your child wants to try another instrument, all you have to do is exchange, and you can continue renting.
As always, you are never obligated to buy the instrument; however, if you must return an instrument, please contact our store before returning it to the school. Remember: the school or band/orchestra director is not responsible for your instrument.
Quality Instruments & Accessories
We work with local band and orchestra directors to stock the instruments, books, and accessories they prefer for their programs. Used instruments are inspected and serviced by our technicians before they are made available for rental. Regardless of it’s age, your child’s instrument will be a quality product in good playing condition, a vital part of their musical success.

Maintenance & Repair Coverage
An instrument that has been properly cared for can last years and span generations. Part of your monthly rental payment is a maintenance fee which covers any service the instrument may need during the rental. We have a complete repair facility for band and orchestra instruments and will repair your rental instrument at no additional cost to you. We recommend that instruments be serviced at least once a year to be kept in good playing condition.
- The maintenance fee is optional – however, without it you are responsible for the care of the instrument.
- Extended maintenance plans are available even after the instrument is paid in full.
