Why Rent Your School Instrument With Us?
100% Rent-to-Own Plan: Every monthly payment applies toward the purchase price of the instrument. It’s an investment in your student’s musical future, not just a rental fee.
Educator-Approved Brands: Stafford County Public School teachers trust us because we only rent high-quality, durable instruments from major brands like Giardinelli, Strobel, Eastman, Bach, Yamaha, and Jupiter. Your student won’t be held back by inferior gear.
Worry-Free Exchanges & Repairs: Student hit a growth spurt? Switch sizes (like violin fractions) easily. Instrument take a tumble? Our optional damage coverage handles it with zero hassle.
Local Support: Need help getting it to play right? Have a question about a reed? We aren’t a 1-800 number. We’re real musicians right down the road, ready to help your student succeed.

We stock the standard band and orchestra instruments required by Stafford County and surrounding school districts:
Band: Flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, percussion kits (bell & snare).
