Rental Options - It's End of School, What Do I Do with my Rental Instrument?

We hope that your musician is really enjoying playing in band/orchestra and

plans to continue for many more years to come!  The end of the school year

& holidays are the perfect time to re-evaluate whether you want to keep

renting an instrument or if you would like to purchase one. 

We are always here to help make sure you get the best instrument for your player.  There are a few options that you should keep aware of:

1.) Keep Renting.

Renting is really budget friendly month to month.  If you are renting from Rocky Mountain Music Repair & Rent My Instrument, you don't have to make any changes or take any additional steps, everything will continue as normal.  However, you will be paying full MSRP price by the time you reach the end of your rental term.  Below are some options that can save a lot of money. 

2.) Return Rental - Student Not Playing Anymore

If you/your student aren't going to continue with band/orchestra, imply drop it off at Rocky Mountain Music Repair as soon as they are done playing, or call Ralph at Rent My Instrument, 877-269-0240  for a FREE UPS shipping label to ship it back. Keep in mind that any credit that you have accrued will be forfeited....so if your student will be in band next year, we would suggest to continue renting over the summer so you don't lose your credit. 3.)  Purchase Rental Instrument for 50% off Remaining Balance. 

 Ask about a buy-out rate. Stores will generally offer a discount amount off the remaining balance owed. With Rocky Mountain Music Repair & Rent My Instrument, that rate is 50%!! If your musician really likes playing and really likes the specific instrument you are renting, then you can always purchase it for 50% of your remaining balance!   This is a great way to gain ownership of the instrument while saving a lot of money.  If you want to know how much you can purchase the instrument for, call  Ralph at 877-569-0240.  You can also log into your account at the RentMyInstrument.com website to look up how much you still owe, as well as execute the pay off.   If down the road they decide that music is not for them, then you can resell the instrument and recoup some of your money.

4.) Return Rental & Purchase a Used Instrument from Rocky Mountain Music Repair.

6.) Upgrade Your Rental Instrument
