We will delay the start of the rental term until 25.12.24. This avoids the Christmas postal rush without using up any of the rental term.
If you have always wanted to learn a musical instrument but would like to try one before buying one, you have come to the right place!

Hiring an instrument is the easiest and cheapest way of exploring your or your child's musical talent without the expense of an outright purchase. With a minimum hire term of just 3 months, why not give it a go?
We have been providing instruments for hire and for sale since 1997. Originally supplying just saxophones, we have expanded due to popular demand to include all woodwind instruments as well as a large range of brass instruments.
Music is our passion and we aim to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and learn to play a musical instrument. We are happy to offer advice and help to musicians of all ages and abilities to help you choose the best instrument for you.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have some previous experience and may be looking to upgrade your instrument, we can help.
Flexible rental periods from 3 months.
We offer 2 options for every instrument that we stock.
1. Rent for 3 months. You can then either buy it, return it or continue to rent it on a monthly basis for up to 12 months with the option t buy.
2. Outright purchase with the option to sell the instrument back to us for a guaranteed price (eg buy an alto sax with the option to sell it back to us for the same price less £20pm depreciation).
All our instruments are tested prior to dispatch and as standard come with all you need to get started:
Carry case, new Vandoren or Rico reed, mouthpiece with comfort patch, ligature and cap, neck strap and cork grease.
