Instrument Rentals

Come see us at either REW Music location to choose and rent your instrument! For your convenience, you can reserve an instrument rental online from the comfort of your home, then come see us to pick it up so we can introduce you to your new instrument.

Our rental instruments are priced individually according to condition and use, rather than one size fits all. Instrument price points are first come, first served. We have listed a range of options to choose from online, but please be advised there may be additional options available in store on any given day. 

It is an exciting time when your student is ready to begin their musical journey! Our long standing reputation in providing quality band and orchestra instruments is rooted in our love for music education and the desire for students to succeed. There are many choices out there when choosing where to rent your band or orchestra instrument and that might leave you feeling confused. Our team takes pride in providing personal and individual attention to each family as you begin your musical journey. 

You might be asking…

• Should I rent or buy?
• What exactly do we need?
• Where do we start?

What is included in the monthly cost?
All of our rental instruments at REW Music come with the following items included in the monthly rental fee: 

Properly fitted case

Basic accessories necessary to keep your instrument in proper working condition.

Monthly maintenance fee is INCLUDED in the rental price that we quote you.

NOTE: Tax is NOT included in the rental price. 

Are there extra or additional costs?
To provide your child with the best possible start learning a new instrument, these are important considerations and items your student will likely need:

• Method Book - Your student will also need the book your school band or orchestra is using (they are not traditionally provided by the school)
• Music Stand - Your musician will need this to practice properly at home, and may also need it for a concert or two throughout the school year.
• Care Kit - Investing in a Care Kit put together especially for your student's instrument will pay off by helping keep the instrument clean and working well, saving in repair costs later.
• Reeds (for Clarinet & Saxophone players) - Although our clarinets and saxophones come with 1 reed, expect to buy reeds quite often in the beginning, until your student learns how to take care of their reeds. Reeds are a consumable item and do wear out with use, so this will be a regular need. Do not expect reeds to last more than a month or so at a time. We recommend always having 3-4 good reeds in the case to rotate playing on a different reed each day.
• Lessons (optional) - The last (and perhaps best) way to further invest in your student's music education is to enroll in private lessons for individualized attention. For more information on lessons, visit our lessons page.

FREE Getting Started Clinics, offered every August & September

Another great way to give your child a headstart is to come to our FREE Getting Started Clinics, which are offered only through REW Music. In the clinics, we work with groups of like instruments to teach the students AND parents together how to properly disassemble the instrument, clean it, put it back to together, and make the first sounds. Your students band or orchestra teacher loves when their students participate in these free clinics by allowing them to progress faster when they get to class.
