Finance to own, or keep renting?
Both are good choices. It depends on where your student is headed.
Finance a step-up instrument
- You own it from day one. It's yours to keep.
- Intermediate and pro models: solid silver headjoints, better keywork, richer tone.
- Fixed, equal payments with no interest during the promo period.*
- Best for students committed to their instrument through high school and beyond.
Rent locally from AAA
- Flexibility: return or switch instruments if plans change.
- Student models built for school band and orchestra.
- Local service from our Connecticut repair shop.
- Best for beginners and students still deciding.
