RENTAL COMPANIES
There are a LOT of places to rent/buy an instrument. Our program uses Music & Arts as they supply a rep that comes by the school every week and can pick up your instrument if it needs any repairs. They usually have it back the next week. There are plenty of other places and you are free to choose. If you go through Music & Arts, they will also be able to get you the types of instruments and supplies we recommend.
We HIGHLY recommend that you NOT buy cheap instruments from pawnshops or big box stores. While they look nice and are cheap, they are often VERY expensive to repair. We had two such instruments last year that students purchased that broke and they were unable to find parts to repair them.
