THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:

Only  a Deposit and One Month's Rent Are Required to Get Started:

To rent an instrument you must present a valid VISA, MasterCard or Discover card in your name, otherwise credit approval is required (it usually takes 24 hours, one business day, for approval).  Cash, check, VISA, MasterCard or Discover card are accepted for payment.

All Payments Apply Toward the Purchase Price:

You may continue making payments until the outfit is paid for in full in which case a 1.0% interest charge per month will be added to the declining balance beginning with the 7th month.  If you return the outfit, no interest will have been charged.

You May Trade for a Larger Size or More Expensive Instrument at Any Time.

When trading for a larger-sized instrument, full trade-in allowance is given within the first six months.  After six months, reduced trade-in allowance is given based on the length of time you have had the outfit.   The instrument must be in good condition.  When trading for a more expensive instrument, full credit may be given if the instrument is in good condition.

Return the Instrument at Any Time and Terminate the Contract:

Return the instrument at anytime and terminate the contract with no further obligation to pay.  Deposit will be refunded minus the cost of of any damage (if applicable).  Sorry, we do not re-purchase the instruments.  We do accept instruments for trade on larger, newer or more expensive instruments.
