Rental Scheme

Obviously we realise that paying several hundred pounds for an instrument which you may not get on with is not particularly appealing. We offer a rental scheme for beginners which, provided you are having lessons on your chosen instrument, you can opt for. The scheme gives you up to 6 months for 20% of the cost of the instrument. After the 6 months, you may return the instrument to us if it has not been a success. If your trial period has been successful you can make the final payment and the instrument becomes yours.

In future years, if you require an up-grade we would be happy to part-exchange this for a more expensive instrument.

We often have ex-rental and second hand instruments available for rental or purchase at lower prices. Just call the shop to find out what we have available.

We also have a list of instrumental teachers available, although we do not assume any responsibility for any of them.
