How band & orchestra rentals work

We’ve made renting band and orchestra instruments as easy as Do, Re, Mi! You don’t need to worry about hidden fees, complicated terms, or big commitments. Students simply pick an instrument and start playing.

EASY AS…

01
Pick your instrument

Give it a try for one month—no long-term contracts, no stress. Just a simple, straightforward rental to see if it’s a good fit.

02
Continue month-to-month

Keep it as long as you like—no pressure! Every single payment applies towards the purchase price of the instrument. Stick with it long enough, and it’s yours!

03
Early pay-off bonus

If your student’s loving their instrument, go for our “Own-It-Bonus” option. Pay off the balance early, and we’ll knock 10% off the total!

Renting out the best of the best

We don’t mess around when it comes to quality. Our rentals come from top brands like Yamaha, Fender, and Conn-Selmer. When you rent from Dietze, you know you’re getting an instrument that’s built to last and sounds amazing.

Our instrument rental program is designed to make music easy, fun, and accessible. Here’s what you need to know!
WHAT'S THE ADVANTAGE OF A MONTHLY INSTRUMENT RENTAL PROGRAM?

We know your child or student has lots of choices when it comes to activities. Our monthly rental program is risk-free, so you don’t have to worry about buying an instrument upfront. Plus, your payments apply towards purchasing the instrument, but there’s no pressure to commit!

WILL MY RENT APPLY TO THE PURCHASE?

Yes! Every penny you pay goes toward owning your instrument. And with our early payoff option, you get an extra 10% discount on the remaining balance. It’s savings all around!

IS IT MORE EXPENSIVE TO RENT A NEW INSTRUMENT OVER A USED ONE?

We offer four levels of instruments for rental, all of which rent at the same rate.  So whichever you choose, your monthly rental rate will be the same.  However, there will be fewer payments, over time, if you choose an instrument that has been previously played.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOUR LEVELS OF INSTRUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL?

We generally offer four levels of instruments for our rental program, but is dependent on stock levels at the time.  

1-New instruments

These are new instruments that have never been rented to anyone but you.

2-Premium Used

These are instruments that generally look as good as new, but may not be perfect cosmetically.   They will have been rented for a very short period of time, then cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, so there will be no playability issues for the next player.

3-Used Instruments

These instruments will be instruments that have been rented for a longer period of time and may have some cosmetic imperfections, but will have been cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, and will have no playability issues.

4-Budget Used

These instruments will have been rented for an even longer period of time than the standard used and may show more cosmetic imperfections.  These also will have been cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, so you can be assured not to have playability issues.

WHAT IF MY CHILD SWITCHES INSTRUMENTS?

No worries! If your child or student decides to switch instruments, all the payments from their current rental can be applied to their new instrument.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD NEEDS A LARGER STRINGED INSTRUMENT?

If you’re renting a stringed instrument and your child or student outgrows it, your payments transfer to the larger size. You don’t lose a dime.

IS BUYING ONLINE A GOOD IDEA?

Buying an instrument online can be a gamble. When you rent from us, you get the expertise of our team, access to repairs, and guaranteed quality. No shipping worries, no hassle.
