Our Frequently Asked Questions
-
100% of the rental payment goes toward the retail price of the instrument.
-
You can either bring the instrument to our store location (recommended)
OR
Let the director know that you would like to return it and we will pick it up during our weekly stop at the school. (renters are responsible for returning instruments - not directors)
-
You can
A.) bring the instrument to our store location and we will repair it at no charge
B.) inform the director it needs repair and we will pick it up during our weekly stop
Sometimes, we can even provide a loaner instrument while yours is being fixed.
-
You can use 100% of your credit towards the student instrument to go towards a step-up or pro instrument.
-
Yes!
You do have to have a history of renting a student instrument before you can rent to own a step-up or pro instrument but any instrument can be done as a rent-to-own.
-
You can keep renting it (recommended) so that you continue building equity towards the payoff of the instrument and continue practicing over the summer
OR
you can return it to our store location to stop payments.
-
100% of our rental instruments are ready to play.
Some of them are new and some of them are “rental returns” that have been rented before but go through our shop to ensure they are ready to play when picked up or delivered.
-
The total cost of the instrument being rented depends on the brand, condition, and type of instrument -which varies depending on the director preference.
You can call us at anytime to ask the total cost of your specific rental.
-
Yes! You can pay off your instrument early and receive a 30% discount on the remaining balance.
-
You get one free repair to be used within one year of your payoff date and then after that it would be out of pocket for repairs.
-
You can bring the instrument you're currently renting to our store location and swap it for a different instrument or a size up instrument.
It's recommended to give us a call ahead of time so we have the instrument to which you'd like to switch ready for you to pick up.
100% of your credit from the previous instrument will go towards the new instrument as long as it's a current rental.
This process can be done through the school but you need to call us ahead of time to facilitate the swap.
-
The rental instrument comes with everything you need to play plus any specific accessories requested by the director.
-
The initial accessories needed to play are included with your rental (additional reeds are extra) but anything beyond that is paid for at your own expense.
We will notify you if there is an accessory requested by a director that is not included before you get charged.
