Band Rentals

Rental instruments are available to students of all ages. If you’re looking for woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments, welcome!

  • Our rental instruments are manufactured by trusted and reputable companies
  • The rental band instruments we offer are either brand new, or like new. We don’t rent out instruments that are in poor condition, past their best, or are “scratch and dent” seconds. This ensures that your rental instrument will stay in tune, be smooth and easy to play, and give a great musical experience!
  • Not all instruments are created equal. A better-quality instrument will encourage your student to practice more and will contribute to their success.
  • Band instruments need regular maintenance to keep playing and sounding their best (cleaning, key and valve adjustments, lubrication, key pad replacements, etc). We provide service for your rental instrument at no additional cost.
  • Exchange or repair service can be arranged at your child’s school at no additional cost.
  • The band rental program is rent-to-own. The principal of your rental payment is credited 100% towards the purchase price of your instrument, and when you are at or close to payoff, we will notify you and invite you to bring in your instrument for a final complimentary service to make sure everything is working well before it’s yours to keep. If you wish to purchase your rental instrument early, we offer a 10% discount for early payoff.
  • Payments: Rental billing is monthly. For convenience, we set up your account for automatic recurring payments from a payment card of your choice. In order to help us avoid rising credit card processing fees, please consider setting up Zelle or Bill Pay for automatic payments. Here some payment options.
    • Electronic Payments with Zelle (preferred): To send or schedule electronic payments with Zelle, add payments@classicviolins.com as a recipient.
    • Bill Pay using your Bank: Add Classic Violins as a biller and schedule recurring payments.
    • Automatic Payments with VISA, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, initiated by Classic Violins, with your authorization.
    • Web Payments: Create / Log into your account on classicviolins.com to make a one-time payment and update your payment card on file.
    • We are also happy to take payment over the phone as well as personal checks via USPS.
  • Cancellation: There is no “long term” commitment contract: each month on your contract renewal date, you can choose to remit payment and continue your rental, or simply return your instrument to one of our shops if you are finished using it. Once your instrument is returned, we will cancel any recurring billing. There are no contract cancellation fees.
