We participate in the Music and Arts Centers instrument rental program.  Most school band and orchestra instruments are available to rent, many starting at $25 /month.  Less common instruments need to be ordered ahead of time, such as oboe, piccolo, cello, or tenor sax.  Rental specials include 2 free months with the first month's payment, new rentals only.  No long-term contract, rentals are month-to-month with early buy and rent-to-own options.
