Rental Purchase Program
The Rental Purchase Program is designed to allow the player an opportunity to use a quality instrument without the costs of an outright purchase. However, the purchase price of the instrument is not discounted as in the case of an outright purchase. Eighty per cent (80%) of all timely rental payments are applied toward the purchase price. All rental purchase plans require a security deposit equal to three month's rent. The security deposit will be refunded at the time the instrument is returned. After the first specified time period of rental has elapsed the instrument may be returned without any further obligation to purchase that instrument. Any and all reconditioning/repair costs are to be paid at the time the instrument is returned. Once the repairs are paid for in full the security deposit will be completely refunded. As with the rental payments eighty per cent (80%) of the security deposit may be applied toward purchase.
Rental Purchase Plans
Nine Month / Three Month
One may choose to rent an instrument for a nine month / three month combination - this plan may be desirable by those who wish to rent just for the school year and add the three month summer term. Once the instrument is rented for twelve consecutive months, the balance of the instrument purchase price is due in full. Once the instrument is paid in full, the full purchase price minus any reconditioning/repair costs may be applied to the next size instrument.- Violin rent per month for the 9 month / 3 month combo: $20 - $35
- Viola rent per month for the 9 month / 3 month combo: $23 - $40
- Cello rent per month for the 9 month / 3 month combo: $35 - $60
- String bass rent per month for the 9 month / 3 month combo: $80 - $120
All price ranges are dependent upon size and quality instrument.
Six Month / Six Month
The other rental/purchase option is the six month / 6month combination. In this program the instrument may be returned after the first six months rent without any further financial obligation to purchase that instrument. For the second six month rental period, the instrument may be returned at any time and any unused rent will be refunded. The same policy with regards to the security deposit applies with this program as it does with the 9 month/3 month combo.
- Violin rent per month for the 6 month / 6 month combo: $23 - $38
- Viola rent per month for the 6 month / 6 month combo: $26 - $45
- Cello rent per month for the 6 month / 6 month combo: $40 - $65
- String bass rent per month for the 6 month / 6 month combo: $85 - $140
All price ranges are dependent upon size and quality of instrument.
