Please let us know if you are representing a school or other tax-exempt organization when you book your appointment!
N.B. Rentals are on a first-come-first-serve basis and an in-person appointment is required (please plan to spend 30 minutes with us to complete the rental process). We cannot hold or reserve instruments. Plan to leave with your rental outfit the same day!
It is strongly suggested that you try to book your rental early (before August) because we cannot guarantee inventory once the school year begins.
