Rentals
BAND AND ORCHESTRAL INSTRUMENT RENTALS – We are flexible! Every school is different so we can choose the best rental program for you or even create one specifically for the student. We offer rentals from 1 day rentals to Long term rentals (1 yr +). Most band and orchestral instrument contracts start $35 for the first 3 months OR $99 total for the entire school year! (9 month contract). All School rental instruments are serviced and inspected before they are rented. We have excellent repair technicians so no long waits if a repair is needed. If for some reason there is a complicated repair, we will give a loaner instrument at no charge so practice time is not lost.
Instruments available for rent are: Violin, Viola, Cello, Upright Bass, Flute, Piccolo, Clarinet, Trumpet, Trombone, Alto Saxaphone, Tenor Saxaphone, Bell Kit, Snare Kit, Drum Set w/ Cymbals, Guitar, Oboe, Bassoon, Pro Audio Equipment.
We offer Demonstration Nights at our store (to be scheduled in Fall), and we are happy to provide in-school demonstrations. We will be happy to arrange pickup and dropoff of any instruments to local schools that need service.
EQUIPMENT RENTALS - MMM will also rent out gear that is needed on a temporary basis. Maybe your amp is in the shop, or maybe you are playing at a larger venue and need to rent a PA, we can help you out.
RENT TO OWN PROGRAMS – We do offer Rent to Own Contracts and they can be great for many students and many wallets. We do NOT usually recommend a LONG TERM Rent to Own Program because you are usually grossly overpaying for an instrument. If you rent an instrument today, a long term rent to own program is likely to charge you double or more what you would have paid if you were to buy it outright that day. And after the two, three or four years that it takes to pay off the instrument, you have a USED instrument worth 25% of what you paid. USED instruments are great but you shouldn’t pay double new retail for a used instrument. What we typically recommend to new band and orchestral students is that they go through a trial period and find what they like. If they are happy with that instrument, we can give them a great deal on a new or used instrument of comparable quality.
