For an additional fee per month (not included in the monthly rental payment), we offer a waiver of liability for you in case you damage your rental instrument. You will not be liable for the cost of your instrument, nor for any repair costs or deductibles. However, you WILL be liable for any replacement parts or accessories that came with your instrument that are deemed irreparable or are no longer present. See the following question.

Rental instruments sometimes come with disposable and/or non-disposable accessories. Non-disposable accessories MUST be returned. Otherwise, you will be charged for their replacement cost - even if you opted into the Rental Assurance. Here is a list of items that you may or may not be charged for: Non-Disposable (MUST BE RETURNED ALONG WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT): STRINGS - Bow, Bridge, Strings, Tuning Pegs, Tail Piece, End Pins BRASS - Mouthpieces, Slides WOODWINDS - Mouthpieces, Ligatures, Mouthpiece Caps, Cork, End Caps PERCUSSION - (Everything that came with your rental must be returned) Disposable (not required to be returned): STRINGS - Rosin BRASS - Valve Oil, Slide Oil, Slide Grease, Polish Cloths WOODWINDS - Reeds, Cork Grease, Cleaning Swabs Other optional accessories that you purchased at the time of your rental, such as books, music stands, extra reeds, shoulder rests, extra rosin, etc., do NOT have to be returned. You bought them, so they're yours!

If you elected the Rental Assurance option for that instrument, you're covered! You won't have to pay ANYTHING. Just bring it in and we'll replace it with a different rental instrument.

Yes! However, we would need to physically inspect your rental instrument to make sure damage has not already been done to it. Therefore, a second trip to the music store will be necessary. This is why we strongly urge customers to make the purchase at time of rental.

Rental Assurance is valid as long as your account is current. Any lapses in payments may result in lapses of coverage. It is non-transferable, non-refundable and cannot be pro-rated. We reserve the right to terminate coverage under excessive loss conditions, or if no Rental Assurance payment has been made for over 30 days.

Yes! Depending on availability, we will try our best to exchange your instrument to a brand of your choosing.

Yes! An instrument type can be changed at anytime (provided the account is up to date). Also, depending on what new instrument you want to switch to, there may be an increase in monthly rental fee.

No. All repair work must be done by one of OUR approved technicians.

No. Strings are not covered, even with the Rental Assurance.

Broken bows are covered, but lost bows are not.

Make sure the bow hair is tight (but not too tight!), and rub a sufficient amount of rosin on the bow hair to have the bow hair stick to the strings and create sound. Bows will not produce sound without enough rosin.

Normal wear and tear is acceptable. Worn material edges, loose handles, broken zipper pulls, bow retainers and inner pocket doors do come loose or break from time to time and are generally not something to worry about. However, If your instrument's case has been abused (e.g. crushed by the car, stepped or sat on, submerged), you are liable for the cost of the case.

The purchase price of your instrument is equal to the Retail Price of that instrument. For this info, give us a call, we're always happy to help!

If you rented PRIOR to July 15th, 2019: 100% of your monthly RENTAL payment applies toward the purchase of your rental. For example, if you are paying $20/month for a violin, you are accumulating $20/month toward the purchase price of your instrument. However, taxes and rental assurance payments do not count. If you rented AFTER July 15th, 2019: None of your payments are being applied to an instrument's purchase. We made this change for several reasons, but if you would like to purchase an instrument from us, we are now able to offer much more competitive rates - sometimes up to 40-50% off of retail!

Yes, but only if the instrument you are currently renting was NOT new when you received it!

Yes and 100% of your rental equity will be applied!

We ONLY ACCEPT credit/debit cards. We require that you supply us with a valid credit card (VISA, MC, Discover, or AMEX) to be charged automatically on the 1 month anniversary date that your rental began. We do NOT accept other forms of payment, such as cash and check. In our experience, these alternative methods of payment generally caused delays in the billing process or the absence of a paper trail and frustration for customers.

Your monthly billing date will be the same day of the month as the day you began your rental. So if you started renting on January 15th, you'll be billed on the 15th of every month. *Please keep in mind that these are the dates WE process payments from OUR END. Depending on your card and/or bank, you may see your rental payment be processed 1-3 days later.

You can avoid being billed for the following month if you return before your next billing date. However, we allow a 10-day grace period in case something comes up and you can't return it on time for whatever reason. For example, if your next payment is due on the 1st, you have until the 10th to return the instrument and get your money back.
