Central Massachusetts Musical Instrument Rentals, Rent to Own
A Parent's Guide with helpful Questions and Answers
Purchase vs. Rental
Most parents choose to survey their child's level of interest and aptitude
before investing in the purchase of a musical instrument. As a general rule
however, the sooner you make your decision to purchase, the more significant
the savings will be. Certain time sensitive discounts may be in place, so check
your rental contract for further information.
Once a decision has been made to purchase a musical instrument, we will apply
your rental payments to the initial price of the instrument, calculate any
discounts that may be available to you, and quote to you what may be a
surprisingly affordable payoff figure.
Of course, you are under no obligation to purchase. You may simply choose to return or continue to rent the instrument.
Musical Instrument Choice
One of the keys to a successful music experience is to maximize the interest
level of the child. A good way to achieve this is to allow your child, with
guidance, to make the decision. Find out what kinds of sounds they like best.
You might even take him or her to the symphony for additional exposure to the
different types and sounds of instruments.

of our rental customers and their music directors, we stand ready to satisfy

Maintenance
One of the beautiful features of our rental program is the Loss/Damage/Theft
(LDT) policy. Though optional, this highly recommended feature provides full
protection against anything that may happen to the instrument including theft
or fire. If it needs repair, you simply call us for instructions. Repair or
replacement is provided at no cost to you. Nothing could be simpler...and we'll
deliver the repaired instrument back to the school.
About Exchanges
Sometimes finding the best instrument to suit your child involves a bit of
"trial & error". If you find this to be the case, you will also find that
we are very understanding and accommodating. Your child may try an instrument
and find it unsuitable. Should he want to play another type of instrument, you
can exchange the one you are renting for another without losing any rental
purchase credit. Consult with the child's instructor about what other
instruments may be more suitable for your particular child.
Return Policy
Of course we hope that your child experiences a high level of success in
musical education. If things do not work out however, you can be assured that
exiting our rental program is quick and easy.
A call to our rental office is usually all that is required. You can either ask
that the instrument be picked up at the school, or simply return it yourself by
coming to our store.
What Else You May Need
Different musical instruments carry different accessory requirements. However,
one item commonly needed for all instruments are sheet music stands. Our
research has concluded that using a music stand promotes proper posture and
faster advancement in the music program. Available at a discount, sheet music
stands can help to influence your child's success.
