Parents
Musical instruments are more than just any other product, we believe they are an investment in your child's education. Music can deliver a lifetime of enrichment and enjoyment but we understand quality instruments can be expensive costing hundreds of pounds. This can be risky, especially when just starting out, so what better way to give them a try.
We know your child will appreciate them as will their teacher. All this whilst saving you money upfront that you can invest in lessons and learning.
Returning Players
Often when returning back to playing it can be useful to have the reassurance of putting in a few hours to see how you get on to answer some obvious questions.
Will I find the time?
What happens if I don't like it?
No problem! Before making that commiment use our Rental Scheme to try. You can play without the pay, 3 month minimum and Money Back options so your rental money can go towards your dream instrument.
University Students
Our showroom is nestled within the very fabric of the University of Cambridge, sitting under the arch of Sidney Sussex College. We find students looking to get back into playing or simply as a form of relaxation or stress relief use our rental scheme whilst in term time. We can even offer a storage service during breaks for those who are unable to leave things in their rooms.
The Planet
The most sustainable products are the ones we already have! Every year hundreds of thousands of instruments are sold in the UK. In recent years and with the rise of cheap manufacturing, many of these are difficult if not impossible to repair. This is creating completely unnecessary waste whilst also destroying jobs in the UK. We believe there is a better way.
We source, repair, and maintain hundreds of quality instruments new and secondhand, minimising waste and our the impact on the planet. You can rent knowing your choice has genuinely made a difference.
How does Money Back Rental work?
With our unique Money Back Rental, you can accrue rental monies against a future purchase. This is stepped based on how long you rent for but gives you plenty of time to make a decision. Use our calculator to estimate how much rental credit you could accrue to save against your future instrument purchase.
Are there other benefits to renting?
Yes, we believe Rental is one of the best ways to get started or get back into playing.
- Save: Accrue rental monies against a future purchase
- Flexibility: You can change the instrument type or size
- Progress: Put money now toward lessons or learning and achieve your musical goals faster
- Safer: Less risky than buying instruments in the secondhand market
Reuse an Instrument. Save the Planet!
Do you know how much Carbon (CO2e) you could save by reusing versus the cost of producing a new instrument and shipping it halfway round the world?
