Our rental instruments all come as an Outfit that includes:

We pride ourselves on offering excellent quality instruments at an affordable price. All of our instruments are professionally maintained by our staff and on-site luthier. We send each instrument out with a new set of stings, cleaned, polished and ready to play!

Tax Breakdown:

Rental Taxes:
There is a 6% state tax on the base rent and a 3% tax on the maintenance fee.
Sales Tax:
There is a sales tax of 6% on the subtotal value of the instrument (subtotal = instrument value minus the applied rental credit) at the time of purchase.

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.
