Instrument Rental Purchase Program
The Rental Purchase Program allows the player an opportunity to use a quality instrument without the cost of immediate purchase. Eighty percent (80%) of all timely rental payments are applied toward the purchase price.
In comparing outright purchase to rental with purchase option, it is generally better to apply the rental equity toward purchase as soon as possible. The benefit of renting for a while is that you do not have to purchase the instrument you are renting. Rental equity may be applied toward purchase of any instrument we have in stock.
Be sure to review the rental policies.

* Instrument insurance covers accidental damage only while in use. It does not cover costs for general maintenance, damages due to neglect/abuse or reconditioning fees due at instrument return/trade-in. Instrument insurance fees are not applied towards purchase. Any and all accidental damages/losses must be reported immediately, otherwise they will not be covered by the insurance. Supplemental renters/homeowners insurance is highly recommended.
